The newspaper thinks that this is the gun he was using:



I'm going to have to assume they are mistaken...

Ummm...I think the game was rigged?

You see these things on movies and things, but I've never experienced anyone who would consider playing Russian roulette with a loaded revolver

is there any other way?

They have IGAs in Sydney?

See, playing Russian Roulette with a properly maintained revolver is actually not too much of a risk. If you are keeping your weapon in tip top condition, then gravity will generally pull the full chamber to the bottom of the spin when it stops.

Never play with a gun that isn't yours, though.

Also, possibly reconsider with light weight rounds as they may not have enough weight to influence the roll consistently.

Of course, you could just say - Fuck that! and use a semi-automatic pistol.

I'm going to choose never play.

You are basically telling people to commit suicide.


The cylinder is prevented to roll back. It doesn't matter if you play it with a magazine shells+1 bullet or one bullet in a cylinder. 1 person will shoot himself and most likely die.

The risk is 1/x , 1/(x-1), 1/(x-2)..... while is is the amount of chambers or size of magazine.

And probability trees don't work as argumentation because you are not interested in the full tree but the current branch.

Example 6 chambers 3rd person = 33% chance to shoot himself.

There are enough people killing themselves with this game because they used real guns.

I'm doing no such thing, and I would appreciate it if you didn't imply as such.

So summed up you take magicans explanation as example but in reality their revolvers are rigged and the bullet removed.

Then you don't know how pistols and revolvers work.


The risk increases for each person not being shot.
