My Good Major -
I too enjoyed the movie immensely.. until (back in my youth, before the interwebs) I had time to do a serious library search
on Pookahs and found that they were actually a "less than friendly" entity that were said to lure children and other "innocents" to their death,
usually via falls into chasms in fields and whatnot.... rather like the "tommyknockers" in mines.... altho some maintain that "tommyknockers"
are actually trying to
warn miners that danger is imminent...
My Dear Bunk -
I did actually, deliberately, without malice, but with forethought leave out the .45 CB or .45 Short Colt as it is a more modernisch device,
and I was after the more archaic cartridges ( and I fauled the spelling bee again, in my above list) .
In the list was the extreme oddball, the .45 Mars - apparently Webly was experimenting with ugly autos
https://www.militaryimages.net/media/webley-mars-45.29295/fullthe wiki article is so amusing I must provide some snips:
snip--------------------
The Mars Automatic Pistol, also sometimes known as the Webley-Mars, was a semi-automatic pistol developed in 1900 by the Englishman Hugh Gabbet-Fairfax and distributed by the Mars Automatic Pistol Syndicate Ltd. of Birmingham. It was manufactured first by Webley & Scott and later by small gunmakers in Birmingham and London. Manufacture ceased in 1907.
The Mars Automatic Pistol is noted for being available in a variety of 8.5 mm, 9 mm and .45 calibres. These were all bottlenecked cartridges with a large charge of powder, making
the .45 version the most powerful handgun in the world for a time....
The Mars Automatic Pistol was rejected by the British War Office .... because of
the unacceptably large recoil, considerable muzzle flash, and mechanical complexity.
The captain in charge of tests of the Mars at the Naval Gunnery School in 1902 observed,
"No one who fired once with the pistol wished to shoot it again". Shooting the Mars pistol was described as
"singularly unpleasant and alarming".

.45 Mars Long Specs:
220 gr FMJ bullet at 1,200 ft/s producing 700 ft⋅lbf
"Ballistics are similar to the .45 Winchester Magnum. "
but no -
.45 Winchester Magnum Specs
230 gr (15 g) JHP at 1,600 ft/s producing 1,307 ft⋅lbf
thus, we can see it would actually be closer to
the .45 Super
200 gr (13 g) JHP 1200 fps 639 ft⋅lb
230 gr (15 g) FMJ 1100 fps 618 ft⋅lb
or the .451 Detonics Magnum
200 gr (13 g) JHP 1281 fps 729 ft⋅lb
