Sometimes I come across a pet peeve that I did not know was a pet peeve and it is. Annoying.

It is not a big deal. And yet and yet and yet I am not sure I'm going to be able to finish this fic.

Because the Glock handguns the SVU detectives carry keep being referred to as revolvers and. It. Is. Driving. Me. Crazy.

They are not revolvers! Revolvers are a specific thing! Handguns with a cylinder you load bullets in and that cylinder revolves as it is fired to put the next chamber in line with the hammer and that is why they are called revolvers. The Glocks in the show have a magazine for the bullets and are fed up into the barrel when the trigger is pulled, no revolving cylinder.

This is not a big deal! So the writer doesn't know. Who cares!

Apparently. I fucking care. UGH.

#svu #guns #seriously. i am annoyed this is annoying me #pretty sure the author is not american by some of the word usage. which i figure increases the #likelihood they know nothing about guns. plus not only that but i am born and raised and live in rural america #been around guns (mostly rifles) my whole life. this is not typical for large swaths of america! why is this bothering me so much #shut up brain. let it go brain. UGH #fyi: the gun used for russian roulette in Beasts Obsession? that is a revolver #russian roulette with the Glock Lewis had would have been a really short game 'cause even loading one bullet it would always #be at the top of the magazine. a revolver? spin the cylinder and the bullet can end up at any sequence in the firing order
