I don't have the funds to buy a new console.
Right now I am bleeding money trying to restore a 90 calibre black powder revolving pistol.
That's right. I said 90 calibre. It's an odd 4 shot. Never seen anything like it. I am not even totally sure who made it. Might be a custom manufactured piece. It has bad rust, and the grips, which were wood at one time, are completely rotted and splintered.
I have fired an 80 calibre single shot 'blunderbuss' pirate type pistol... I am feeling a bit apprehensive firing a 90. That's a BIG FARKING GUN incase you don't realize how big something like that is. Going to have to make a custom mold to drop the bullets too.
I may never be able to ever say these words ever again in my lifetime, but the 90 makes the Smith & Wesson 500 look... tiny. Looks like a kid's capgun toy. By comparison, the 90 is comically huge... It's the sort of gun that would make Roland the Gunslinger pause, take of his hat, and weep.
It's an odd bird though. Only 4 shots, but with such huge bullets, I can see why... After the first shot, I reckon most everybody would be squatting and hunkering down to clean crap out of their britches and boots.
I should have it done by fall. :D

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
