The most notable use of the Webley is when Captain Blackadder uses one to shoot General Melchett's personal carrier pigeon which results in him being court-martialed in "Corporal Punishment" and when Melchett pulls one out and shoots Captain Darling in the foot so he can go undercover in the field hospital in the episode "General Hospital".
