JULY 21, 1865
Card game between former Union Army scout James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok and Dave Tutt turns hostile as the latter claims all of Hickok's personal possessions as winnings and then proceed to humiliate him even further by wearing his golden pocket watch openly on his suit. Despite being warned not to wear the watch in front of him again, Tutt appeared at the corner of the town square of Springfield, MO, still wearing the watch and brandishing a revolver, which he braced against the opening of his holster and issued a blatant challenge to Hickok, who was watching from the other side.

When Hickok fully turned to face him directly, Tutt stepped into the street and fired his weapon. The bullet missed by a large margin. Hickok drew his own Colt's Naval Pattern .36 caliber revolver, steadied the gun in a one-handed grip and fired from 75 yards away. The 80-grain lead ball struck Tutt in his left side, blew out his heart and exited under his left shoulder. Tutt staggered several steps to the porch of the town's courthouse, collapsed and died on the spot.

Hi,

First post and directions not followed but funny and along the same lines..just video format:

OMG, those are so unbelievably painful because they are 100% true. Especially the first one, except with now it's with cartridges. It used to be about do-all guns, now it's about do-all calibers/cartridges. It has to be able to kill DRT four legged and two legged creatures, not over penetrate in CQB or house clearing, ring the hell out of steel at 1000 yards, have zero susceptibility to wind or nuclear EMP, achieve peak velocity in 7 inches of barrel, 0 MOA accurate out of my 26" barrel, cost pennies to shoot when I want to plink and have HEIAP barrier blind rounds available for sending through windshields, concrete bunkers and the aforementioned four legged and two legged assailants.

Now we can have fun guessing which calibers seem to attract those kinds of people.
