I'm a 34-year-old "Western" gun enthusiast. (My "day" job is firefighter.) I love the guns, history, and variations, from the Colt Paterson all the way up through the Winchester 1897 shotgun. I love finding movies that use unusual Western weaponry, like the Volcanic rifle in For a Few Dollars More, or any early Western that actually uses period-appropriate rifles and revolvers.
