Can't post that without noting the scene was originally supposed to be a complicated sword v whip duel. Ford was suffering...lets just say "intestinal discomfort" due to the local Tunisian water and didn't feel up to the scene as written. Couldn't be out of the trailer for more than 10 minutes at a time. This was the only scene left before they decamped back to England, so they went with this instead. Much more fun, I think. But it disappointed the stuntman that had honed his sword skills for months to do the scene.
Whenever I remember the pistol I remember the closeup of the empty top break in Temple of Doom. But Dr. Jones was more profligate with his pistol varieties, clearly.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."

Why would Indiana Jones using a 1917 cause a run on top-breaks?
