How Many shots do you think that Lucas McCain shot in the opening scene of the Rifleman.
If you do a google search answers range from 10 to 14.

Just watched a show, I'm counting 10 on that show.

At the beginning of each show, Lucas McCain would stride down the main street of North Fork and fire eleven shots at an imaginary enemy, as the voice-over announcer would introduce Chuck Connors starring as "The Rifleman." In an 1991 interview with Roy Firestone, Chuck explained that, "What you see and hear on the screen are eleven shots; what the weapon actually holds are eight shot. That was a camera trick so that the shooting would match the music—called dramatic license."
This was taken from Chuck Connors..... "The Man Behind the Rifle" by David Fury, Artist's Press and from 1991 interview with Roy Firestone.
