Nitpicking The Wizard of Oz

Nitpicking The Wizard of Oz
The Scarecrow’s Gun

That gun brings up a number of questions. Where has the Scarecrow been keeping it? Where does one acquire a gun in Oz? Most importantly, HOW does this gun work?

Just look at this gun. The barrel is mounted on top of the gun and is not connected to the cylinder. There do not seem to be any bullets in the gun. Although there is a hole in the barrel in the first photo, there also seems to be no hole in the barrel for any bullet to leave in the second photo. This must be some sort of fantasy weapon that just happens to look like a broken six-shooter. But again HOW does it work?
