While the Tea Party was full of rage for me, I was a little happy to see that one of my ideas had been confirmed, with each of the Siestas representing the weapons/ammo used in the crime.

Siesta 45 is obviously the sawn off Winchester(s) chambered in .45 Long Colt that we see in every episode except 5.

The other two are more interesting though:

Siesta 410 is likely .410 bore shot shell. These can be fired out of a .45 chamber, so it makes sense that 410 and 45 are paired together initially, as they can be fired from the same weapon. Magically this also explains why Kyrie and Rudolf's guns had no effect on them. It also goes along a bit with their personality: while they can both be fired the same way, 410 is a bit more "rough", being a shot shell instead of a bullet.

Siesta 00 doesn't show up until episode 4, and as we see she shoots Rosa at point blank. Makes sense since she is 00 buck, your standard shotgun shell.

Lastly we have Siesta 556, who is not present on the board, due to being killed by the Black Witch. This likely means that no weapons chambered in .556 were used. .556 is a common assault rifle or even light sniper round, so it may discount the possibility of paramilitary involvement (I don't know if that would get past Knox anyway...). On the other hand, there are a billion different military rifle calibers, so that may be a hasty generalization.

I'll just post in here since I don't want to start another Umineko thread.

Does anyone else want a spinoff starring the 7 Stakes in the 60's USA?

"Leave it to Mammon" or something.
