The rifles of the time were made to shoot handgun bullets. In the movie they use a 45/70 or a 45/90. Tom most likely had a 30 winchester center fire. Very popular round and still is as the 30/30.
When Tom gets off his horse with the rifle he is counting on the lack of range, inaccuracy and movement of the pistol on horseback. It takes some BALLS.
I don't think Steve McQueen would have ever done a movie that stretched his role beyond Human realism and Bravery. Thank you Steve for a lot of great Movies!
I like the realism.. the moron with the rifle on a horse, bobbing up and down expects accuracy and old Horn ( McQueen) shows the realism of takin the time to get off a horse , aim and Hit target
Thank you.
