It's essentially the same sound either way. Powell could have attempted to shoot him or he may have merely cocked the gun as a threat but then the fight was on. that's correct, Maddie. That's why I can't say for sure there's was a misfire which is the conventional assumption. We've all seen Westerns where the gunman cocks his gun menacingly to scare someone. That may be what Powell did. Or he could have pulled the trigger to shoot Frederick. We will never know. |
