Winchester 1866

Description
A classic cowboy's lever-action rifle chambered in .44-40 Winchester. Features high damage with lever action sounds, and short-medium range effectiveness. Includes both standard and AP ammo types.

Everything available at the bar vendor - might take up to 24h for stock to be delivered for the first time.

Requires a steady hand and careful aim... and a great sidearm to close the distance. Go and win the West!

This is the first version of this rifle - and it is very challenging to balance. On one hand - you want the historical vibe, no-scope short-mid range with heavy bullets. Reward careful aim and don’t overpower what is (realistically) not as strong or accurate as modern guns. Still - we want something usable!

I’ve done my best at this first run to make a VIABLE gun from this that’s fun to use. I would appreciate user thoughts on balancing this to the sweet spot.

Well I reinstalled it and the ammo is now everywhere I said it was missing in. Ignore my last comment, whatever happened then isn't happening anymore.

Good job btw, but I do wanna ask why it has so much AP power.

Thanks @Stone Knight -- good ideas here. I'm still considering pushing the scope option that people were asking for, and a damage boost on the normal ammo vs AP is a good idea. I'll test it out.

I like it, but there is no reason to pick other ammo type.
it has also shorter range than DMR so it's uniqe in a way. You play it like a super slug shotgun that dosen't have option for buckshot and has 1 less weapon perk cuz it can't use scopes.

So just shift dmg bost from ap ammo to the ot her one, cuz there is 0 reason to pick other ammo than just AP, maybe even shift it to assault rifles category not for immersion but pure for balance sake.

Thanks @Killian!

@Mk are you sure? I haven't heart of this issue coming up before - look for it at the bar. The standard ammo has a silver/grey bullet on a straight casing. The AP variant is the same with a green-tipped bullet.

Weird. The ammo for this gun isn't stocked, can't be found, and doesn't exist in the debug.

Thanks @GGPistolero, it’s motivating to create a unique scope for this gun and try it out. I’m working on an update for the Desert Eagle with a bunch of mods and updated graphics and I’ll test it later on.

low power scopes are very common on lever actions
