It’s not exactly one of Tex Avery’s most stellar gags.
The First Bad Man was released by MGM in 1955, well after Tex’s unit was shut down by the studio. Walt Clinton, Ray Patterson, Mike Lah and Grant Simmons are the credited animators, while future Flintstones designer Ed Benedict came up with the model for these characters.
It probably would have been funnier if there were NO bullets, just sound effects. But it's still hilarious either way.
