For anyone familiar with guns (as most Americans in the audience would be, anyway), it also illustrated how unhinged, dangerous, and reckless the gunman was.
You’re really going to point a loaded gun at yourself, including looking down the barrel (and potentially shoot your self in the face), to appreciate the fly you just caught? The fly you still haven’t killed? Which can now escape while you appreciate it?
And which, it turns out, ends up escaping when the gunman gets distracted. And which you could have killed at any point along the way in about 10 easier ways if you didn’t want to try to be fancy?
Well, it turns out that does indeed fit their character haha. And is good foreshadowing for most of the ‘bad guys’ in the movie, and to some extent the ending.
A really amazing classic, if you’re not stuck in ‘TikTok attention span’ mode anyway.
Also, a really funny parody of the spaghetti western (which includes some of the same folks - ‘Support your local sheriff’).
One _possible_ out for Snakey here is that in old percussion cap revolvers (like Colt Dragoon), the safe thing to do was keep an empty chamber in front of the hammer when not engaged in active shooting. It's been a while though, and my fuzzy memory leans more toward the guns supposed to be Single Action Army-esque and not cap/ball era so maybe no excuse for Snakey after all.
