Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Back in the day those rifles were real as were the revolvers that Clyde Beatty & other cat trainers used in the acts but EVERBODY was REALY careful with them & I don't know of mishaps Nowadays we go through a long list of precautions to render them unable to chamber rounds except for special blanks
I don't recall the significance of the old tire in this gag
This looks like a 12 gauge single shot I still have tons of 12 gauge casings that we used to make blanks out of with our special blend of powders
I would hope that everyone would know who portrayed "Weary Willie"
