A scientist from the future goes back in time to do (stuff that I wasn’t paying attention enough to figure out), but his assistant’s daughter goes back to stop him with the help of one of the grandfather’s of time travel.

• 14:15 — Bullets also leave exit holes..
• 14:45 — Well.. kindof like that.
• 18:45 — Spur (horse)

• 20:15 — .357 Magnum is an ammo type, but I don’t know enough to discern the gun itself.
