The slingshot was reported found on him when arrested.....NOT!! Sifting through the hyperbole and histrionics to find the truth must be a historian's nightmare.

We see it all the time in westerns-Clint Eastwood, opens his pancho, pulls his pistol and pulls the trigger multiple times: killiing five guys on a fence without cocking the gun for the first or subsequent shots. The action of pulling the trigger cocks the gun. Of course you could c.o.c.k. the gun then pull the trigger a little easier if you've got the time (say you only need to kill four guys sitting on a fence). What difference would the larger .44 make?
