When you and a freind are playing Russian roulette.....

Do you re-spin the chamber (not sure that's the proper name but I mean that spinny thing that houses the bullets) after each contestant has had their turn, or do you abide by rules that prohibit re-spin in order to more quickly ramp up the excitement?

Someone calling it "the spinny thing that houses the bullets" probably shouldn't be playing with firearms at all.

@DunningKruger you're probably right.

I play games for fun. Blowing my brains out (or, worse, blowing SOME of my brains out) has never seemed like fun to me. Even if I wanted to play Russian roulette, I'm quite sure none of my friends would play along.

@Jm31xxx Well, no, not in the UK. In the US, there are precedents from as long as 70 years ago.

@Mamapolo2016 But I bet in some states it's totally cool. Like the one where you can shoot dead burglars even if they are running away.

@Jm31xxx I don't know how things work in the UK but in the US it's highly unusual for dead burglars to run away.

No, you have to pull the trigger until you finally "win" by hitting on a cylinder with a bullet in it. Then when you are done, it is my turn.

@Riverman Is that how you explain the rules when you're doing volunteering work at a care home for people with educational difficulties?

@Jm31xxx No, that was an attempt at a joke. I would NOT be discussing Russian roulette at a "care home for people with educational difficulties".

Odds get lower if you don’t spin..

Theoretically

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout well yeah, that's why it's so exciting.....until the 5th chamber been proved empty and everyone knows the remainder of the game is merya formalitiy.

I'm guessing that if you didn't respin, then whoever was on the 6th chamber and knew there was a bullet in it might suddenly decide not to play.
