Smith & Wesson, Protecting Guests on Disney's Jungle Cruise Since 1955


A little Jungle Cruise Revolver Trivia.  The revolvers are nickel plated.  The lanyard was put on the revolvers after two were stolen from the boats.  They cannot fire live ammunition.  The skipper fires 2 low powered blanks to scare the attacking hippos off.  They also carry louder blanks used to signal for help as follows:


  • 3 shots means the boat is experiencing a mechanical difficulty 
  • 4 shots means a medical or security emergency and the boat is returning to the dock at full throttle
  • 6 shots means the boat is derailed
