Connery was comfortable in his masculinity, and Belgian lace, but mostly his masculinity.

Might be him?

Yep, but WAAAAAY too rich for my blood.

I long ago realized I'd never be able to afford a Fosbery.

I know nothing about them, I just remembered you mentioning them at some point.

Don’t ask me why or how I remembered that though lol

I've seen them go for a lot more than $15k. They're exceptionally rare.

It's an "automatic revolver." Meaning, a revolver with a slide that advances the cylinders using recoil. VERY much a technological dead end.

How many lawsuits before they will finally stop using my likeness?!? WTF?

 

[Nick Fury]

Does it come with the bandolier?

 

[snubnose]

Was there a time on Gunjoker when things were not strange ?

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Reptile ???

 

[MisterHappy]

It has nothing to do with Zardoz (Weird movie, but the visual of a giant floating Tiki head vomiting guns is....memorable), but when I was ~5 or so, I was at the Robins Library in Arlington (where I grew up) with my dad, and he pulled down a book (not sure what the title was, but it was probably a "Guns of the World" type thing) from the stacks, and showed me an entry on that one.

Weird, the stuff you remember.

I remember Sam Spade's partner, Myles Archer was killed by Floyd Thursby with one in the beginning of The Maltese Falcon.
It may be the first and only reference to a Webely- Fosbery in a film.

Well.

Other than Zardoz, you mean.

ETA: And one other, apparently.

I thought Webley's were those little egg-shaped figures that would wobble but not fall down.

He's referring to FRANK Zappa, sans the soul patch on his chin.
