ORIGINAL: Goblin Ok, I got worried that the 'coons might burrow thru their skulls! [:)] Goblin <---------------Goblin off screen to the left!! [sm=00000054.gif] More realistic attire for 1836 [:D] [image]local://upfiles/132/25B3F5E9F3ED486E9CCA5E186E873BDB.jpg[/image] Who taugh these guys how to hold their weopons, a beancounter? A shotgun on the ramparts! Please he will not be hitting anything for a while.shesssh The Actor is holding his rifle in his "palm up" position. This is a typical and steady position for target shooting. The left elbow is usually supported against the shooters left side. Unless he was coached in this manner, I would suggest this actor is an experienced powder and ball rifleman. And Holding your Face away from the Powder Flash as Crockett is doing makes good sense to me?? altho he does not appear to be aiming, but rather looking over his rifle at what is happening. As for the Shotgun, Travis was a Cavalry officer and Thats the firearm that was being considered for the Texan cavalry. And it is an Historical fact that Travis did indeed have and own a Shotgun at the Alamo. Whether it could fire solid Round shot I do not know. [sm=00000976.gif]
