I've only ever heard this phrase in the modern "gangster" movie setting, but it would seem from the structure to have originated in the percussion lock era.. perhaps as late as cap-and-ball revolvers. I mean, how many gangbangers get into the details of projectile, case, powder, primer, etc...
Anyone have more details on the origin/history of the phrase?
