"Hi everyone! Today we'll talk about the firearms of the Wild West. Yeah! A cowboy and his trusty Colt 45… Although, Colt 45 – that's kind of boring. How about a cowboy and his lead-spewing pepperbox! Add to that a killing harmonica, a revolver-shotgun combo, and a pullstring revolver. Them old gunsmiths were truly inventive, weren't they? So let us tell you about the most curious and remarkable guns of the Wild West." YouTube link Amicalement

Let's see: The Derringer is one of the most famous small handguns in history so – definitely NOT unknown. The "Pepperbox" was also quite common for a while earlier in the 19th century and not common after the Civil War. Well enough known to be one of the weapons in the classic board game "Clue". The Lemat revolver was marginally popular in the Confederate Army during the Civil War so, also not unknown. I won't even bother noting all of the blatant errors (using the wrong weapon's image for this or that … etc.). |

No mention of the Walch Navy Revolvers |

Pistol and a shot gun? what about The Judge? It takes 410 shotgun shells or .45 cal pistol round. It is a revolver so you get 5, 6 or 7 shots and you can mix and match. |

Ah c'mon Star you know the media types can't tell their assholes from their elbows when it comes to weapons. I'm NOT talking about Tango, but the guy who wrote this article. |
