My math maybe off but now he has a 60% chance of getting a loaded chamber because Walken took away an empty chamber. Now, what DID enhance De Niro's chances was when after Walken's turn the Vietcong gave him the gun without spinning the chamber. Either of them taking a turn didn't enhance the chance of getting a loaded chamber. Basically each time De Niro and Walken took their chance, it was 50%. ![]() What I don't understand is why did De Niro take a turn AND have Walken take a turn as well? He's already enhanced his chance of getting a loaded chamber (and 3 consecutive shots) to 50%. No point in betting at that point, he's guaranteed to die. In addition, if the bullets were put in 1 loaded 1 empty pattern, De Niro would have gotten a 100% loaded chamber after Walken's turn because the Vietcong didn't spin the chamber. I think when De Niro actually started firing it was 3 straight shots with no empty click. So it appears the Vietcong guy puts 3 bullets in consecutively. ![]() ![]() So I get De Niro's plan to goad them into putting more bullets in the gun to enhance his chances of getting a loaded chamber when he turns the gun on the Vietcong. I've watched this movie a couple of times and the RR scene in Vietnam still confuses me a bit.
