Weapons

Bowie Knife
Eight inches of cold, shining steel, it's dependable and always available in a pinch. It uses no ammunition and every player starts out with it.
Weight: 1 lb
Primary attack: Stab (25 damage)
Secondary attack: Fast slash (15 damage)
 

Revolver (Colt Peacemaker)
If there's a symbol that embodies the wild west, it is the Colt Single Action Army revolver, better known as the Peacemaker. "God created all men, and Sam Colt made 'em equal." This revolver was used by countless gunslingers on the American frontier for decades after its introduction in 1873. A single-action revolver, such as the Peacemaker, must have its hammer cocked before it can fire. Each player starts out with a single Colt Peacemaker. While deadly, the Peacemaker can be slow to reload compared to other weapons.
Weight: 2.5 lb
Ammunition: .45 Long Colt
Ammo Capacity: 6
Primary attack: Standard fire, thumb cocking (35 damage)
Secondary attack: Rapid fire, fanning (less accurate)
 

Double Revolvers (Two Peacemakers)
If one revolver is good, two can only be better! With twice the firepower, your opponents should go down in only half the time. Carrying two Peacemakers allows you to switch between an empty gun and a full one if you're firing them only one at a time.
Weight: 2.5 lb per revolver
Ammunition: .45 Long Colt
Ammo Capacity: 6
Primary attack: Alternating fire (2 x 35 damage)
Secondary attack: Simultaneous fire
 

Coach Gun
Named after its role in the protection of stage coaches on the American frontier, the coach gun is a side-by-side double barrel shotgun with a barrel length of 15 inches or so. Its short length makes it handy in combat, and both barrels at once pack a serious punch. Reloads two shells at a time.
Weight: 6.5 lb
Ammunition: 12 Gauge
Ammo Capacity: 2
Primary attack: Both barrels (24 pellets, 10 damage each)
Secondary attack: One barrel (12 pellets, 10 damage each)
 

Pump Shotgun (Winchester Model 97)
It wasn't the first pump-action shotgun ever made, but the Winchester Model 97 was the first one to successfully use the design. As a repeater, it can put out more firepower before reloading than a double-barrel shotgun. Once the trigger is pulled, it can be held back continuously while the slide is pumped and the hammer will drop each time. This results in a much faster firing rate, however the stiff pump-action tends to throw off accuracy when used in this manner.
Weight: 7 lb
Ammunition: 12 Gauge
Ammo Capacity: 5
Primary attack: Standard fire (12 pellets, 10 damage each)
Secondary attack: Rapid fire (less accurate)
 

Molotov Cocktail
Sure it's a waste of good alcohol, but if it's a choice between getting wasted and reducing your opponent to a scattered pile of bloody gibs.... Light the rag and pull back. The longer you hold your arm back, the further you'll throw, but be careful not to let the bottle explode in your hand! These babies hurl out razor-edged shards of glass in all directions when they go. Remember that rags don't burn under water.
Weight: 1.5 lb
Primary attack: Throw (explode on contact) (80 damage with 40 radius)
Secondary attack: Drop (5 second delayed explosion)
 

Hatchet
Designed for chopping wood, but just as good at splitting skulls. A bit more effective than the bowie knife in hand-to-hand combat, and it can be thrown for a completely silent ranged attack.
Weight: 2 lb
Primary attack: Throw (45 damage)
Secondary attack: Chop (35 damage)
 

Winchester Rifle (Model 1894)
This handy repeater became the epitome of the cowboy rifle in the old west. Its lever-action makes for quick firing and the barrel is short enough to be quick, but long enough to be accurate at extended distances.
Weight: 6 lb
Ammunition: .30-30 Winchester
Ammo Capacity: 7
Primary attack: Standard fire (65 damage)
Secondary attack: Rapid fire from the hip (less accurate)
 

Sharps Rifle (Model 1874)
The premiere sniper weapons of the civil war and beyond, Sharps rifles gave rise to the term "sharpshooter". The 1874 model is easily recognizable by its double-set triggers, octagonal barrel, and falling block action. Though slow to reload, these rifles are deadly accurate and can take down a buffalo. When coupled with a scope, they surpass the range and accuracy of pretty much any other small arm available.
Weight: 11 lb
Ammunition: .45-70 Government
Ammo Capacity: 1
Primary attack: Standard fire (120 damage)
Secondary attack: Zoom in with scope
 

Cannon
These serious pieces of ordnance can occasionally be found left behind from the civil war. Slow to fire and even slower to reload, this mammoth 3-inch rifled gun is sure to seriously hamper the movement of anyone who decides to use it, but it more than makes up for it in firepower and damage radius. Even though you can't light a cannon under water, cannon fuse is waterproof once lit.
Weight: 900 lb
Ammunition: Cannonball
Ammo Capacity: 1
Primary attack: Standard fire (200 damage with 400 radius)
Secondary attack: Fragmenting ball, splits into three pieces (3 x 66 damage with 400 radius)
