I won't drink the diet caffeine free stuff, it tastes like poison to me. I want to experience life, not tiptoe around it. It may take a few years off my life but I have been living on borrowed time since I was born(almost died at birth). The movie in my opinion was set more in the 1870's time frame. Hydraulic mining, railroads, cartridge and conversion revolvers, Trapdoors, Henry rifles and Sharps buffalo guns are not of the California Gold Rush era. Eastwood's choice of guns for his Westerns was influenced by his "spaghetti westerns". He is not a gun guy but Tom Selleck is. He has the most correct firearms for his western movies of any actor. He is an NRA member and has written the introduction for a book on revolver cartridge conversions. His Quigley Down Under movie has my favorite line in regards to revolvers " I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it".
