Which I suspect was the producers taking the piss almost as much as the Star Trek comment, or Cochrane needing to take a piss.

That and they were increasing velocity which creates a sense of weight in the fashion of your chest being crushed.

Obviously, they didn't need AG because Steppenwolf is heavy enough.

The only person who looks really different there is the woman, because her hair is longer. Nobody on the Phoenix had long hair.

well maybe it's just me but I think their faces don't look quite as weighed down as they would do on Earth

Sadly, he has been killed many times.....and there's a man from Maryland outside my back door, who looks like he once had a beard, standing there with a pickaxe and doing that 'slit throat' gesture at me!!! Gotta go!

Quick question for our martial historians: I'm in the character-planning process for a bit of fiction, and online research has proved inconclusive. Does anyone know if there were pre-1870 cartridge revolvers in production aside from the Webley RIC, the Beaumont-Adams converted for the .450 Adams, and the Remington New Model Army converted for the .46 RF?

Follow-up: with the Webley Royal Irish Constabulary model, is there any significant advantage - ballistic or otherwise - of the .442 Webley vs. the .450 Adams chambering?
