There is something "sure" about the       action of a revolver that is missing in other       firearms that are prone to jamming, or worse yet,       malfunctioning because of dirt or mud getting       into the action. I've never tried it, but have       heard that a revolver has no such limitations and       can be fired "from under water" if the occasion       dictates.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
