r*ssian roulette was invented with a specific free turning revolver drum in mind that makes it impossible to shoot yourself with one bullet loaded.
update: probably not a fact
Why did you censor Russian?
The intern*t is weird
Very much so

I had to google chef's hat to find out that Toque also exists as a word in my native language
They're an ostrich?
Makes sense
Don’t think this is true unless you can come up with a source for this. As far as I could find gravity is almost negligible effect wise and they usually stop it manually anyways. The only time I’ve heard of this was in the reacher book where he claimed to have such a well oiled revolver he was able to.
How is it impossible?
I think the one bullet in the drum will never align with the barrel due to gravity + the free-spinning drum
You got a sauce on that?
tbh I've had it somewhere, but can't find it among thousands of bookmarks. So it probably can't be called a fact.
No worries. Wasn't trying to be a dick. Always up for learning something new about interesting things.
I grew up around firearms. Use a .22 revolver as part of varmint management on my little farm. It's a tool not a fetish. (I like all sorts of tools, including firearms.) Lots of myths about guns, for instance: they don't actually increase the size of your penis.
No way! I was looking for AR-15 just for growing reasons. 🥲
I must admit, I inherited my uncle's 1911 that he used for competition. It might give me a little chub. Pretty sure it increases my height as well. 😁
That would be a stupid gun design, if an unevenly loaded drum means you can't shoot anymore (or would have to manually align the bullet with the barrel - good luck! Who needs fingers anyway, amirite).
If you hold it right.
