FBI Agent announces it’s a

[amboy49]

My wife is watching the FBI television series right now. I hate the show but since I’m playing on INGO and pretty much ignoring the show she can watch what she wants. (A little better than the damn game shows she watches ).

However, the agents just found some dude dead in an alley. One of the agents uses his pen to pick up a shell casing. He held it up and announced to his partner “Yep, 45 Winchester.” The casing looking like a .45 ACP. What the heck is a 45 Winchester ?

What the heck is a 45 Winchester ?

How above a fictional round for a fictional show?

 

[Gunmetalgray]

Like a 45 Assault round... 45 High Capacity round? or how bout a 45 Fully Semi-Automatic round....

I would have to see the bullet clip to tell the difference between them.

.45 Magnum

The .45 Winchester Magnum is a .45 caliber rimless cartridge intended for use in semi-automatic pistols. The cartridge is externally a lengthened .45 ACP with a thicker web to withstand higher operating pressures. The 45 Win Mag is nearly identical in dimensions and loading to the .45 NAACO...

TV script writers are not historians. Take the movie road house. The revolver is blued in some scenes and nickle in others. just entertainment.

Tells you about whoever is advising on weapons for the show.

I love the mix up in Deadwood where Ned Mason draws a Remington 1858 to shoot Bullock and Wild Bill, but is holding an open top Colt when he hits the ground.

But I’m still trying to figure out how to rack the slide on my revolver and rack my shotgun to scare others without ejecting my shells…

I cannot opine on the 45 Winchester.

I'm still trying to figure out the 45 Long Colt.

Or they look at a bullet and say it's a 9mm or 38 special or something like that without measuring it just picking it up. Pretty hard to tell .355 to .357. If it's a 124gr 9mm or a 125gr 357 mag or 38 special, or 38 super on and on.


Are those 355 or 357?
I'll let you know in a few days.

Can I shoot a 45 winchester out of a Remington??

Can I shoot a 45 winchester out of a Remington??

You can, but it typically results in a tear in the space-time continuum.

45 Winchester will blow out both lungs with 1 shot. FJB said so..

How above a fictional round for a fictional show?

Yep. I was listening to a 1950's private detective radio program and the whole episode was based on a "29.5 caliber" handgun. Of course I had to look it up to see if it was some obscure round I've never heard of. It wasn't.

 

[DadSmith]

The above bullets are .357 caliber.
