OK, one of the things that vexes me, to some extent, is trying to identify weapons (like revolvers, lever action rifles, &c.) in movies and television shows, For instance, I'm watching the movie Virus right now, and saw a top-break revolver. At first I thought: Schofield! But no, the latch was in the wrong place. So then I thought, well, regular Model 3. Nope. So I have to conclude it's a Webley. Indiana Jones aside, I can't help but see the Webley as an imitation of the Model 3. Now the Webley-Fosbery is a different matter. It's a really steampunkish gun! Nothing like a self-cocking, and self-cycling revolver! Why doesn't someone put one of THOSE in a movie?
