The other night I caught part of Rooster Cogburn, somewhere close to the middle. Rooster has a young indian companion who he hands a gun to and says "This is a pepperbox 22...."
I don't know if any pepperboxes were ever made in .22 caliber, but you could plainly see the barrel sizes were somewhere around a .38 caliber.

"A Few Good Men" Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson...
The USMC Colonel Markinson, guarded by the Fed Marshalls, dresses up in his dress blues and shoots himself with a nickel plated Baretta M9. Tom Cruise character later says [blew his head off] "with a forty-five"

That part is real. When black powder was used in revolvers you lift the pistol to get to powder leveled so you could get better combustion from the primer into the powder.
What always amazed me was how good the always were in shooting and never having to reload.

Um,, I have shot black powder for 35 years, (you NEVER EVER have an airspace in a black powder cartridge.
You either firmly seat the bullet against the powder, or compress it with the bullet.
If the load is a light one, you use a filler over the powder, for the bullet to seat against.
OK, I have a fairly recent one, from the Sheriff Longmire series on the A&E cable channel.
The bullet that killed the victim was a .45 rifle bullet, so it had to have been a .45-70 and that had to have been fired from a Sharps, which had to mean an antique from the 1800's.
Wrong on so many points. And, to be fair to the TV people, all that hooey came from the book that started the series. Except for weakness in the area of guns, the books are great!

Who likes the series even if they make many silly gun mistakes. And who won't even mention the 700 yard off-hand shot taken with the Sharps, which hit the targeted person.

Some I saw last night on Netflix "The GLades".
"Your ex husband is a Navy recruiter. So he probably carries a Navy issue service revolver. It wouldn't be a 9mm would it?"
**
Coroner looking at a dead, bloody body pulled from a swamp "I'd guess the cause of death was that gunshot wound to the neck. Looks like a 9mm, maybe a 38"
**
Same coroner pulls fired bullets from the corpse on the autopsy table -
CORONER:
"Here it is. Forty five hollow point"
NURSE:
""Oh, cop killer bullets""
