Fanning is a revolver shooting technique in which the shooter uses one hand to hold the gun and pull the trigger, while using the other hand to cock back the hammer repeatedly in a slapping-like fashion without touching any other parts of the gun. This allows for the rapid firing of single-action revolvers, and the technique is used extensively in fast draw exhibitions.

  • Fanning is a revolver shooting technique in which the shooter uses one hand to hold the gun and pull the trigger, while using the other hand to cock back the hammer repeatedly in a slapping-like fashion without touching any other parts of the gun. This allows for the rapid firing of single-action revolvers, and the technique is used extensively in fast draw exhibitions. Slip hammering is another similar revolver technique involving the use of one hand to pull the trigger and the other hand to repeatedly cock the hammer. The difference is that in slip hammering, both hands maintain grasp on the gun through an overwrapping grip, and only the thumb of the outside hand (typically the non-dominant hand) moves to flip back the hammer. This allows for quick shooting while maintaining a firmer control of the firearm than the fanning technique, but fatigues more easily as the muscles of the thumb are generally weaker and less staminous than the wrist muscles. The idea (as spread by old western films) that gunslingers in the "Old West" fanned their revolvers in actual gunfights with any regularity is considered a caricature. It was done in shooting exhibitions (where trick marksmen entertained crowds with exotic shooting shows) and by many a curious target-practiser. It was probably not common in actual firefights, because it does not lend itself to most real-life tactical situations, accuracy, or the use of cover. One longtime firearms instructor, George L. Tooley, said: "Fanning is hard on the revolver, in addition to being inaccurate, and is not recommended". A slip gun is a revolver which has been modified to disconnect the trigger from the hammer, so as to cause it to fire by pulling back and releasing the hammer. Often the hammer spur is lowered, so the gun may be fired by wiping one's finger across the hammer. The only difference from fanning is that only one hand is needed, because in fanning one hand holds the gun and pulls back the trigger while the other hand knocks back the hammer repeatedly. Slip shooting is a little slower than fanning, but more accurate and practical since only one hand is needed. Slip guns were used for various types of rapid trick shooting in which the ability to instinctively rapid fire was crucial. Thumbing has been used to refer to a similar action as fanning except instead of using the opposite hand to pull the hammer while the trigger is depressed, the thumb of the gun hand is used. This would be necessary if firing paired revolvers. (en)
  • Il Fanning (dall'inglese, sventagliare) è una tecnica di tiro con il revolver a singola azione. Questa consiste nell'armare il cane ripetutamente con la mano debole, mentre l'indice della mano forte tiene premuto il grilletto. Questa tecnica, detta in inglese "fanning the hammer", consente il "fuoco semi-automatico" di un revolver, ma funziona solo con le pistole a singola azione, in quanto i revolver a doppia azione richiedono che venga esercitata un'azione sul grilletto per ogni sparo. Il fanning, quando eseguito molto velocemente, può danneggiare il tamburo della pistola. Modernamente, si utilizza nelle competizioni di estrazione rapida ("Fast Draw") statunitensi, nelle quali in genere le pistole sono caricate a salve e utilizzano tamburi in alluminio e titanio al posto dell'acciaio utilizzato normalmente nei revolver a singola azione.

  • Fanning (Engels: waaieren) is een techniek om met een single action revolver te schieten. Hierbij wordt met één hand de revolver vastgehouden en de trekker naar achteren geduwd en niet losgelaten. Met de andere hand wordt de haan naar achteren getrokken en snel weer losgelaten, zodat het wapen afgaat. Dit wordt dan telkens herhaald (naargelang het aantal kogels die in de trommel passen, meestal zes). Dit is een manier om snel een revolver leeg te schieten, zonder elke keer de haan te hoeven spannen en dan de trekker over te halen. Nadeel van deze techniek is dat, als dit vaak wordt gedaan, het stop-mechanisme van de cilinder kan beschadigen.Fanning komt nog weleens voor in films over het wilde westen, zoals Once upon a Time in the West en ook bij de in de Verenigde Staten populaire sport (nl)
  • 速射(英語:Fanning,字面上的意思為“撥扇子”)是一種轉輪手槍射擊技巧,使用方法是射手以持槍的手的食指扣著板機不放,另一隻手連續重複地撥動擊鎚。這動作令彈巢得以轉動並令擊鎚重複撞擊擊針以實現,從而令單動式轉輪手槍(常見於柯爾特單動式陸軍)獲得媲美半自動手槍的射速。然而這種速射方式並不適用於雙動式轉輪手槍,而且長期使用還會對武器造成一定程度的損耗。這種技術常見於西部電影和電視劇,也被用於射擊比賽。但它在真實的槍戰中並不普遍,這是因為速射被普遍認為是無法提供多大的戰術優勢,而且使用時通常都毫無精確度可言。 (zh)
