Was live on the news this morning.

I counted approx' 15 shots.

There is a vast difference between a calm milk cow and an excited western steer fresh from a feed-lot. They are so nuts, that they are blind and a lethal menace.

[ShepherdsDog]

Did they at least shoot it properly so that it could be eaten afterwards?

It likely went to a rendering plant. Road kill.

It is doubtful that anyone was allowed to cut it's throat to bleed it out immediately. It's like venison---it's not so much how it was shot but how it was field dressed.

huh?

This refers to the confusion of apllying several different names to the same articles which are not necessarilly synonyms.

A revolver is a type of pistol. Frequently, I have heard the hillarious term Automatic revolver used to name an autoloading pistol. Oddly enough, in the early 20th such a devise was produced (Webley-Fosbury).

The official terminolgy of the Firearms Centre has decreeded that a revolving pistol is a "revolver" and an auto-loding pistol is a "pistol".

Our police re-equiped with auto-loading pistols over a decade back----hence the term "service revolver" is hillarious.

I hope this clarifies your fuzzification.
