They had to have one hundred consecutive shots without the nickel falling. If it fell, they started over.

I tried it (using one of my kids) and could never make it past twenty shots, usually much less.

We were trained that way in 1968 w/our service revolvers. Our “homework” was to put the coin on the top strap of the revolver and dry fire as many times as possible w/o knocking the coin off the gun.
