Cowboy Carbine

The Smith and Wes Repeating Arms carbine was manufactured and marketed for that “good guy” cowboy. Saving the wagon train with sustained fire and running out of ammo only when there was only one guy left, which was taken out with a fist fight. In those days the targets would usually pick flat open ground with a river in front. The preferred attack plan was to ride up shooting your gun in he air and yipping, maybe shooting a extra. The guns in those days used very lightly charged ammo with no recoil and left a small red dot of blood . Rules were in place requiring shoulder shots, which could only come from the back if you were using a bow and arrow to shoot a extra. The ammo was the semi- painless kind that put you asleep in about 30 seconds enough for some last words maybe . The attacker maybe required to get his foot entangled in his saddle after being shot , which was a drag because it was very painful .

The Gun was build out of high grade steel with a brass lever, but could be fired semi-auto when out of focus. There was about a 100 round magazine depending on the scene. Target sights could be used to shoot the guns out of the hands of bad guys if longer dialog was needed . There was a special ammo for shooting up on cliffs that would make targets stand up and dive off . The rifle was in service with the U.S. Cavalry and used in most of the skirmishes in the native American wars . In the case of the Little Big Horn battle, it was later found that the wrong ammo was packed after a pre-campaign party left the Cavalry hung over. This rifle is thought to be that very rifle, but at this time it has not been Documented. The valve is estimated in the millions if George Armstrong Custer’s DNA can be found on this weapon. This may not be able to be proven as sitting bull was know to take the rifle down from the mantle of his fire place and pass it around at parties.
