Then, though, the whole how-many-shots-did-he-fire turned into a source of hot fan debate. So Laven looked at the tape, which in those pre-digital days, recorded sound and, along with it, striations on the tape showing where the sound was, and he counted the striations.
Maybe so, he said, but the sound editor may well have added in more shots to make it sound good. We listened to the clip several times and came up with three different numbers. I've discovered when you watch the opening scene for the series for the shows in and maybe some other years, it shows Lucas firing his rifle.
Oddly, if you count the shots you hear while you WATCH the scene, you usually will count 10 or 11 shots. I think this phenomenon is due to a change in the middle of the scene that throws off your count if you watch it visually.
I've done it about 50 times the show is in reruns right now twice every evening , and that's important. More fans opinions. The Rifleman This is a loaded question I'm sure you are a wear of that! I would be interested in hearing just what you came up with, just shoot me an e-mail This question has been asked numerous times and each time we get a different answer.
Newest postings start at the bottom. At the beginning of each show, Lucas McCain would stride down the main street of North Fork and fire eleven shots at an imaginary enemy, as the voice-over announcer would introduce Chuck Connors starring as "The Rifleman. That was a camera trick so that the shooting would match the music—called dramatic license. Now available on Kindle Chuck Connors I know a lot has been said on how many shots that he fired during that opening scene.
Now look real close at the very first shot. When he brings the lever down to put a bullet in the chamber listen and see if you hear a shot while the lever is wide open and than another shot when he closes the lever as it should be. Now look at the very last shot and you will hear one shot when he closes the lever and another one while he is holding onto the rifle walking See if you can't spot those two shots.
If I am right, they are the two shots that were dubbed in to make it sound good. Do you remember awhile back when I asked you to ask Arnold Laven about the rifle that John Wayne used in Stagecoach and That I felt that it could have been the same one that Chuck made famous in the Rifleman and Arnold agreed with me that it could have been the same rifle?
Some people say there ain't no way this is the same rifle. I have enclosed some pictures that I have taken over the years of both rifles. I do not have a picture of John Wayne holding the rifle in Stagecoach, but all you have to do is go to the Eagle Squadron Productions website to look Wayne's rifle. Thanks Sweeney!

In Gun Shy Lucas tells Mark a story about cutting his hand with a knife when he was a boy It was something I had been yearning for, for a long time. Anyway, I found me a choice piece of wood and I set out carving a pipe rack for my Pa. I guess I got careless because the knife slipped and I cut myself.
It was a bad cut. I threw the knife down and just ran home. It took a long time to stop the bleeding. But when it did stop I told him I never wanted to see it again. You know what he did? He told me to go out and find it. Well I found it alright, the only thing was, I couldn't pick it up.
I just stood there and looked down at it, until my Ma came along. She picked it up And she looked at me and she said Character Actors Index Page. Although I don't agree with the title as in 'Massacre' this is a great video for the count of how many cowboys was shot and killed by Lucas McCain.
