Yoda, there were always 2 revolvers at the launch control center. The 2 buttons were far enough apart that one person couldn't launch and the .38 hanging next to each button was to shoot anyone messing with the other button. That may be why he doesn't like guns. being responsible like that might have been too much. Or there was a shooting, who knows. I never saw one out of the holster to ID them. Any side arms the SP's had were M-15's. Supposedly there were 2 different lots of .38 FMJ loads, one much hotter than the other.
