"I hate to break it to you Jon but the handgun was a very minor weapon used in taming the west..."

dang it. well, my heart was in the right place. besides, that spilling/filling silver paint can just lended itself to a pistol too much to resist. heh

i suppose to be even more accurate, i could draw small pox, worthless treaties, corrupt industry, etc etc. but a gun was easier.

its also telling that the rifle is a weapon of war over the pistol. of course it is. why actually have to confront your enemy at close range, when you can shoot him from a distance, hidden. oops, wait; i was going to stop ranting.
