I like hiding behind a donkey, waiting for the enemy to come close and then jumping out, firing two quick shotgun blasts into their centre and whip out a tomahawkJean Plassy said:

building up a small army (aka 15-30 people ) i usually have a shotgun of some sort, sniper and longer melee weapon.
Its nice because i can go circles around the people on my horse, run away, get some nice shots off, get close and blast a whole line of them. And poke them with something sharp if i get too close.
Used to use dynamite. Until i found my aim sucks and the sparks are the placemarker for the explosion. Great fun blowing half the team up

Spencer Repeating Rifle and 3 ammo on heavy mustang. Initially wanted to do Walker and 3 ammo, but I can't stand aiming to the right while on horseback, too used to horse archery I guess. I leave the bows and melee to the savages, even though my character is an Indian.

Usually Spencer and 2 ammos and an eaglehead sword.
Also carry large bundle of TXT and a Remington new model for switch
on assaults or duel stances.
Almost all of my companions (i have life all of them), has swords too and
winchesters, henry or spencer with 2 ammos. Just wait behind a dune, when the
enemy pops up we shot down wave after wave of them. Almost no casualties.
When they are too wise (main leaders of factions, etc) just take a detour, closing to them
and charge when near.
With indians is all charge as they mess up in fight, lol
they r really wild.
On sieges usually i shoot @ head of enemies, hiding, popping out and shooting and hiding again.
Many a time i go behind the enemy and stay there to shoot those hideous guys on hard-to-reach places.
Mostly i kill half of the enemy army, despite my army is 45 to 110.
This is because are small battles @ time, as my PC is crapsy
Also i kill rifle shooter first and anyone which is aiming at me !
And been smashed several times with guys with shotguns, ooohhh sooo annoying !!
So i give priorities to shoot them before I go into sword work.
Cheers

A sword and rifle. I'll probably get some dynamite when I can afford it.
Melee is a lot more fun when everyone has guns.

a cavalry sword and Spencer for field battles, an artillery short-sword and Spencer for sieges.

I play a straight up gunfighter most of the time. Either a Remington or a Walker and lots of bullets. I don't usually go into huge battle though, I like to do bounty hunter missions and stuff the sheriffs give me. At ten bucks a head a few bounties usually nets me enough cash to get the good guns and clothes pretty quick.
Double Eight Gauge, Rifle Ammo, Rifleman's Knife and TNT for battles, but I keep an Spiller & Blurr in inventory for duels.
DBShotgun, Bolt-Action Rifle, Rifle Ammo, Tomahawk.
Is my current outfit. And I'm on a horse, but I usually ride behind the enemy lines and dismount behind cover to take them out on foot

Can be used from horseback, is highly accurate, is very powerful, has decent reload speed.Brice2007 said:
What's to shut up about? Until the next version nerfs it, this is the rifle I speak out for
Hold on...I realize it's a breech-loader, but it still seems to contain at least one functional bolt. Thus bolt-action, or no?

Definately awesome power combination - mounted with revolving rifle and ceremonial lance!!! When the 5 shots are used, charge and kill while the enemies are reloading!!!!

Is more of a Joslyn sort of mechanism, in which a kind of side-rolling block,
holding the pressure when gun is fired.
Bolts rotates in its axle, this is centered, by means a handle, which in the beginning
(an most bolt action .22 rifles up today) was the locking lug of the action.
As calibers got stronger some additional lugs were added to the boss
in order to face the higher pressure, as well as some type of gas deflector, as in Mauser 98 action.
