It's available in both the .457 Magnum and .50 Alaskan.

The Length, Barrel Length, and Muzzle Velocity are all found on the site. Everything else was guesswork.

dah... that works...

now to build a martial art around it...

where's the fun in that...

where's the "John Wayne fires the burst while walking forward" technique...

or the "Jon Wu uses one in each hand" Kata...

tho, i haven't made a new style in a long time... might have to leave this up to some of the new blood...

tho, looking at it again, it kinda reminds me of some of the guns in Rifts Australia...

Easy. Take one of the standard martial art forms in N&SS. Take WP: Handgun (or whatever weapon you wish to use) as one of your weapon proficiencies (either through secondary skills or skill programs). Use the modern WP stats for firing the gun, and use WP: Blunt for hand-to-hand. That simple.

Take my style, Erh Chiang Pai and substitute W.P. Carbine for W.P. Pistol. That should satisfy all your John-Woo-ish needs.

Seing as it's a lever action rifle without a stock, I'd say one handed operation is a little out of the question . . . unless you're a Terminator.

hey, john wayne did it....

Sorry . . .

Weidling a lever action rifle one handed is exceedingly difficult unless you're the Duke or the Terminator.

What about Errol Flynn? I think he's got an earlier claim than the Duke.

Errol Flynn wore tights... that disqualifies him.

Yeah, but he's the origin of the saying "In like Flynn"referring to his *ahem* skills with the ladies.

I think that counter balances the emasculation imposed by the tights.

Besides, he did do all his own stunts . . . before they invented much of the saftey gear and special effects.

not saying eroll flynn wasn't a respectable fellow...

just that men like the Duke and those normally seen in movies by Wu wouldn't be in the company of men in tights...

If the Duke and Wu's guys had been staring in Action Movies in the 30's and 40's they would have worn tights.

Good question, let's dig up the dead ones, reanimate them, and have them go at it. We could make a fortune of the PPV rights!

Great idea, of course when they get done with each other and turn on us. A double tap to the head with put a zombie down, especially if you use a shotgun.

Jet Li would jump in and own them all. Errol Flynn and Chuck Norris would go down like a house of cards. The Duke would be tough until Jet Li kicked the gun out of his hands, caught it in mid-air, and fired 60 shots without having to reload or rooster it. Then he and Bruce Lee would have a wild crazy fight while the building they're in burns down around them. But ultimately Jet Li would come out on top.
