Knight at Arms
Prepared by me and Penis Colada. 
PISTOLS:
Remington New Model Army:
The most accurate revolver. It's powerful and can be reloaded quickly. It may be the best pick for a sole pistolier.
Starr Single Action:
Second most accurate revolver thanks to its closed top frame. It is a little more powerful than Remington Army which makes them even. A good combat pistol overall.
Colt M1847 Walker:
Most powerful revolver with moderate accuracy. It usually only takes one or two shots to kill a man. A good pick if power is more important than accuracy for you.
Colt M1848 Dragoon:
A slightly cheaper, less powerful, and less accurate version of the Walker.
Colt M1860 Army
Quite powerful and decently accurate; a very useful mid range combat pistol. Chromed version has better stats.
LeMat .42
Moderate accuracy and power, but has the distinct advantage of holding nine shots. This makes the LeMat one of the best revolvers.
LeFaucheux 20 Shot
An expensive Belgian pinfire revolver with an amazing 20 round capacity fired through two barrels. While weak and fairly inaccurate, its ridiculous round capacity more than makes up for it.
Beaumont-Adams Revolver
Good power, mediocre accuracy, and decent speed make the Beaumont-Adams a good mid range gun.
Starr Double Action
Double action means that every trigger pull is heavy, which severely limits accuracy. It can be fired faster than single action guns, however.
Starr Converted to SA
The aforementioned gun's double action mechanism is removed, but its accuracy is still limited by its short barrel length.
Whitney Navy Revolver
A well-made, accurate Navy revolver - the best Navy caliber revolver, in fact.
Spiller & Burr
A brass framed copy of the Whitney.
Remington New Model Navy
The weaker, .36 caliber version of the Army, sporting a shorter barrel. Its only advantage over the Army is a faster reload time.
Smith & Wesson No 2
What it lacks in power it makes up for with good accuracy and very fast reloading time.
Kirschbaum Pinfire Revolver
Small-calibre pinfire gun with moderate accuracy and good speed.
Mortimer Revolver
An early transitional percussion revolver, the Mortimer has mediocre power and accuracy.
LeFaucheux M1854
12mm pinfire revolver with good power and decent accuracy. Its self contained pinfire cartridges allow for fast reloading.
Colt M1851 Navy
A mid range pistol with moderate power and decent accuracy.
Remington M1865 Rolling Block
A highly powerful and accurate single shot target pistol chambered in .50 caliber.
S&W Volcanic Pistol
The first true repeater. The pistol version of the Volcanic Rifle held ten shots in a tube magazine but its 'Rocket Ball' ammunition was very underpowered.
Smith & Wesson No 1
A seven shot .22 pocket revolver. This gun is one of the weakest in the game, but its accuracy is not bad for a pocket gun and it reloads very quickly.
Colt M1849 Pocket
A small five shot .31 revolver. Poor power and accuracy. However, it was the best selling revolver of the time because of its simplicity and concealability.
Colt M1849 Wells Fargo
Remove the loading lever and shorten the barrel of the Pocket, and you get the Wells Fargo. Its inferior accuracy is balanced by its simplicity and speed.
Colt Pocket Police
Like the M1849, but .36 caliber and with improved speed and accuracy.
Allen T. Pepperbox
What this six shot smoothbore gun lacks in power and accuracy, it makes up for in price and speed.
Sharps Derringer
Favored for its speed and concealability, its extremely low power and poor accuracy make it useless against any target beyond 40 feet.
M1842 Percussion Pistol
Big, heavy, slow, inaccurate, and very powerful.
Boot Pistols
Weak, slow, inaccurate pieces of garbage reserved for looters and lowly bandits.
Philadelphia Deringer
The gun that killed Lincoln.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIFLES:
Double Eight Gauge
Whatever's on the other end of this gun will turn into soup when the trigger is pulled - just make sure you're strong enough to take the massive recoil.
Double Barreled Shotgun
Very powerful, but useless past 50 feet. It's got two shots and reloads quickly. Very effective in close range, one shot one kill most of the time.
Volcanic Rifle
The first repeater ever holds 25 shots. However it's very underpowered and quite inaccurate. But a perfect training rifle.
Henry Repeating Rifle
A further evolution of the Volcanic, chambered in .44 rimfire. This gun holds 15 rounds and has moderate and decent power.
Winchester 1866
The Henry... perfected. More accurate and faster to reload thanks to the addition of a loading gate. The gun that won the West. Carbine variants holding 13 rounds and Muskets holding 17 rounds are also available.
Snider Enfield
A British import, this breech loading 3-band Enfield sports unbeatable accuracy and power. However, it's slow and unwieldy, especially when used from horseback.
Sharps Carbine/Rifle
One of the most accurate and powerful breechloaders of its day, but still lacks the firepower of a repeater.
Scoped Sharps
Extremely accurate and powerful. The best of the single shot guns. Extremely useful in siege attack.
Ball Carbine
Slightly superior power and accuracy to the Spencer Carbine, but reloading takes longer.
Spencer Repeating Carbine/Rifle
Even though the Spencer only holds seven shots, its high power and good accuracy make it a force to be reckoned with.
Colt Revolving Rifle .56
A rather powerful rifle with good accuracy and five shots.
Colt Revolving Rifle .44
Less powerful than the .56, but it has six shots and superior accuracy.
Maynard Carbine
Excellent accuracy and speed make this a good alternative to a Sharps or Burnside.
Burnside Carbine
One of the best of the breech loading carbines - more powerful than the Sharps but not as accurate.
Tarpley Carbine
Moderate accuracy, good power, and decent speed make this cheap breechloader a bargain.
Smith Carbine
Not as powerful or accurate as the Burnside, but it can be reloaded more quickly.
Hall-North Carbine
A smoothbore gun and one of the first ever breechloaders, this gun has good power and decent speed, but suffers from poor accuracy.
Chassepot Rifle
A highly accurate bolt-action rifle. It reloads quickly, but can't match the stopping power of a Sharps.
Enfield Rifled Musket
Highly powerful and accurate, its combat effectiveness is severely limited by its long, stationary reload.
Scoped Enfield
Unmatched accuracy and power, but still suffers from being slow and unwieldy.
Whitworth Rifle
Pinpoint accuracy and incredible power are let down by sluggish reloading, due to fouling gathering in the grooves of its hexagonal rifling.
Hawken Rifle
The perfect mountain man's gun, the Hawken is rugged, powerful, accurate, and lightweight.
Springfield 1861
Almost no difference from the Enfield.
Springfield 1842
A cheap, crappy smoothbore. It takes almost all day to reload and can't hit anyone past 100 feet.
Springfield M1816
A cheap, crappy flintlock smoothbore. It takes all day to reload and can't hit anyone past 100 feet.
