Notes.
        Pepperboxes may be classed as Muzzle loading Revolvers if Cap and Ball or Gate Loading Revolvers if loaded with metallic cartridges. The Sharps Pepperbox was in fact a four barrelled breech loading pistol, not a revolver.
        Muzzle loading pistols are usually large calibre and therefore "Heavy pistols" for determining Wounding effects. Duelling pistols and some civilian weapons may be medium powered.
        The Coup de Poing were low cost weapons and formed the basis of the Apache pistol. Apache pistols have a folding knife blade and a folding grip that can be used as a knuckleduster. Knuckledusters are used with the Fisticuff skill and subtract one from the targets unarmed combat save.
        Reid's "My Friend" revolver was a firearm that incorporated a finger ring that could be used as a knuckleduster.
        A couple of thousand Le Mat pistols were used in the American Civil War, mainly by the Confederates. At least three generals carried them. After the war they continued to be made in France, Belgium and Birmingham and while rare in the US they can still be found in parts of the world that are under French influence. They are found in both Cap and Ball and Pinfire chamberings and a few Centrefire weapons may be found too. In all models the shot barrel is muzzle loaded. The 9mm version is quite rare.
        The Webley RIC model is the standard sidearm of the London Metropolitan Police.
        The 20ga Lancaster pistol can be treated as a Howdah pistol or as the shot barrel of a Le Matt pistol. The Lancaster in .577 Short Boxer is a Howdah pistol.

        http://www.the-shipyard.de/ has some information on Victorian weapons for "Cthulhu by Gaslight". Weights, capacities and cost can be used in other systems. More usefully, there are images of many of the weapons.

1 The Winchester RCMP Carbine was not actually made "in" Canada, but was made for the RCMP by Winchester, almost exclusively. In other words, it's HARD to get.
2 The Winchester rifles and carbines could be bought in a variety of calibres. Including, but not limited to .32-20, .44-40,.38-40, (Pistol ammo) and .45-70, .45-55, .45-75WCF (rifle ammo) and several other popular calibres of the period.

*=Military Issue weapon of the manufacturing country –or that most likely to be encountered in the hands of troops. Natives, militia, levies etc would probably have the older weapons listed for a country.
**** Several thousand Remington-Lees were brought by the US Navy and are most likely to be found in the hands of United States Marines.
        Lee Metford carbines were not produced until 1894 so the weapon listed is probably a shortened rifle, and may cost more than the list price. When adopted the Lee Metford carbine had a 6 shot magazine so that it would fit more easily in a saddle boot.
        The Martian Shield gun is a single barrelled scatter gun fitted in the centre of a shield. The chamber is removable so that it can be reloaded without the need to lower the shield. Often several preloaded chambers are carried. A chamber takes the same time to reload as a smoothbore pistol but takes an additional action to fit or remove from the gun. Shield guns using Earth built weapons may also be encountered.
