Ranged Weapons
All ranged weapons have an Aim value, which is speed of the aim action, followed by a slash with a penalty listed for unaimed fire.
Handguns
Single Action: Single action revolvers are Fast when cocked, but require a normal speed action to cock.
Fan Fire: A single action revolver is capable of fan firing. When using the fan fire action, the speed is fast, and the burst rules may be used (see Fan Firing skill).
Double Action: Double action revolvers are Normal speed actions and do not need to be cocked.
Cartridge: Cartridges are self contained bullet and powder in a single unit. Loading cartridge revolvers is a Fast action and speed loading is possible.
Percussion: Cap and ball revolvers require a percussion cap, loose black powder and a lead bullet (ball) to load. Loading a Percussion handgun requires a Slow action. One cylinder can be loaded on a 3 TN Dexterity check, two cylinders on a 7. The chamber fails to load on a failure, but can be attempted again next round with no penalty. On a CF result, the chamber is not loaded and at least one required item is lost (the round is spent).
Muzzle Loader: Muzzle loading handguns require loose powder, ball and percussion cap like a percussion revolver. Muzzle loading is a Slow action requiring a TN 3 Dexterity check, on TN 7 both chambers can be reloaded. The chamber fails to load on a failure, but can be attempted again next round with no penalty. On a CF result, the chamber is not loaded and at least one required item is lost (the round is spent).
Rifles
Lever Action: Lever action rifles are Normal actions to fire when cocked. They require a Normal or Slow speed action to cock (indicated by the letter in parentheses). Lever action rifles can load 1/3 rounds as a N/S action (as per the letter in parentheses), and can be speed loaded.
Breech Load: Breech loading rifles are Normal actions to fire when cocked, but require a Fast action to cock. Breech loading rifles can load a single cartridge with a Slow action, and cannot be speed loaded.
Muzzle Load: Muzzle loading rifles and muskets can be fired as a Slow action. Performing a muzzle load requires 2 slow actions to complete, and cannot be speed loaded.
Percussion: Percussion cap weapons require placing a metal percussion cap with each shot. The weapon will not fire without it. This is included in the loading speed calculus.
Accurate: Accurate weapons receive the number in parentheses as a bonus to their shooting result if the shot follows an Aim action.
