cowboy gunslinger cuckoo clock

I love clocks, especially cuckoo style clocks and have already added several ideas for them on the HB. This is another one.

As the name suggests, this one features a cliché style cowboy themed clock face, but instead of a cuckoo springing out on the hour, an arm emerges and fires off a cap-gun style pistol. This results in a loud bang, lots of smoke and that characteristic smell all cap-guns make.

Of course someone will make a version that features a real gun firing real bullets, in which case a license is required and a sandbag organised for the wall facing this dastardly variation.

And the six-shooter empties at High Noon every day! [+]

Camp Teacup needs two; one for the Saloon/Dining hall, and one for the Library/Study/Billiards Room!

//the six-shooter//

Both six-shooters, presumably, or one twelve- shooter.

Perhaps a similar clock on the opposite wall, timed a few seconds late...

High noon could be a serious event.

[whatrock], brilliant! But have them electrically (or mechanically) linked (instead of one "slow") & alternate the firing.

I like to think it comes out at around three minutes to high noon and just stands there. Squinting into the sun. Absolutely still. Maybe a small twitch around the mouth, a small movement in the fingers.

Then....

BAM!

Right on noon.
