[edit] Trivia
The Broken Butterfly is based on the real-life Schofield Model 3 .45 S&W caliber revolver, a top-break model made famous by the Western outlaw Jesse James and President Theodore Roosevelt, mixed with a Single Action Army .45 Colt revolver, both of which are fire in single action.
The examine text for the gun includes the statement: "This gun will make anyone's day". This is a refrence to the movie "Sudden Impact". It is a line spoken by Dirty Harry, the movie character who popularized the magnum revolver. In the Dirty Harry films the magnum is shown as incredibly powerful, sending people flying into the air, a feat frequently replicated in Resident Evil 4.
