Question: How long did the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral last?

Answer: 30 seconds. The dramatic confrontation that left three men dead and three wounded lasted less than a minute. Although the movie Gunfight at the O.K. Corral dramatized the shootout, showing the men heavily armed and engaged in a fight that spanned minutes, in reality each man carried only a revolver apiece, resulting in around 30 shots fired in only 30 seconds.
