2. Clevon Little, Blazing Saddles
3-6, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef, The Good The Bad and the Ugly.
What the heck is 14???
14. Strother Martin.
15. Again, with L.Q Jones.
Both photos from “The Wild Bunch”.
I believe that may be a 120mm mortar shell. The yellow band indicates a high explosive filler. The cheap body metal may not have been tough enough to activate the detonator fuze and the tire cushioned the impact or the fuze was defective.
The first #14 is Strother Martin with a 1903A3 https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/The_Wild_Bunch
The third #14 was in Libya years ago https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2839442/Motorist-finds-live-mortar-wedged-bodywork-vehicle-fierce-shelling-Libya.html
Bob Valdez … “Valdez Is Coming” is on Prime if anyone is interested ….
#13 – That Purdey shotgun is a 20 gauge. They call it a 20 bore on their website but bore and gauge are not the same.
Bore refers to inside barrel diameter based upon the weight of a ball that it would accommodate. A 4-bore barrel would accommodate a pure lead round ball weighing 1⁄4 of a pound. So, a “20-bore” would be for a ball weighing 1/20 pound. There are 2, 4 and 6-bore rifles, no 20-bores.
This has been bugging me since I posted it.
So, I just did the calculation and I was wrong, A 20-bore barrel, the diameter to accommodate a 1/20 pound lead ball (that part I had right) is in fact the same as the diameter of a 20 gauge shotgun barrel.
Both are 0.615″
So, I decided to check a 12 gauge just to be sure and found that the diameter of a 12 gauge barrel is 0.729″ and that would be the diameter of a 1/12 lb lead ball.
Guage and bore are the same (that’s had I had wrong).
As usual, I should have just said nothing.
Sorry about that.
The important thing was ya figured it out… I knew Bore and gauge was the same, but I figured I would give you enough rope to hang yourself or lift you up. You lifted!
As soon as I put that out there it was eating at me, so I had to sit down with the calculator and figure it out.
I’ve fired a 4-bore elephant gun before (once) and I thought that a 20-bore was just out of the question.
Wrong!
Oh well, not the first time I’ve run my mouth before engaging my noggin, won’t be the last.
1 Burt Lancaster – Valdez is Coming. Saw it a couple weeks ago.

12 her to
#6: it’s not every gal who can muzzle her own heart.
Unless she has isolated dextrocardia… Then it would be in her other hand.
12 is Robert Ryan, you probably got your numbers mixed up because 13 with the 97 pump gun is Warren Oates again. Ben Johnson grew up around Pawhuska, yes? That scene where he dies in Bite the Bullet chokes me up every time and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Should have gotten him an Oscar.
Yep. As a kid when Bruce Dern killed the Duke in Cowboys I shed a tear as well. Only man to ever kill the Duke
ps Went to the Ben Johnson rodeo steer tripping event this last go round. My brother competed, I told the old fart it was a sport for the young. He dropped trou and showed his thigh and ham wraps and said something about how many milligrams of ibuprofen he took.
at: Wild, wild west and Bear Claw; I kept reading commenst waiting to see if someone would name Warren Oates. You both beat me to it. He’s great.
ps Ennio Morricone is a hell of a music maker, have some on my phone as well as other classical including Vagner Flight of the Valkyrie
Vagner?
What the hell, spell it the way you pronounce it. I reckon.
Very nice mix of tits and guns. Awesome. Thanks. It made my day
Just tell them Valdez is coming….
