Not Such a Goof


The "Goofs" section alleges that Dexter could not have gotten off four shots from his single shot "flint lock" rifle "with no indication of reloading". Anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of antique firearms could see that Dexter's rifle was not a "flint lock" muzzle loader but rising-block, metalic cartridge breachloader of the Springfield Allin type. A rifle of this type could be reloaded quickly by a practiced hand. Dexter was always off screen between shots and had plenty of time to reload, though it would have been nice if he had been shown doing so.

I'm not sure that the other goof is right, either. Her dress looks the same both on the stairs and when she exits the saloon.
