Yes, there were Henry rifles made without a handgrip, specifically the earlier models. The original Henry Repeating Rifle, introduced in 1860, featured a smooth stock without a pronounced handgrip. This design was characteristic of many rifles of that era, focusing on functionality and ease of use. Subsequent models and variations may have included different stock designs, but the classic Henry did not include a handgrip.
If you are referring to westernization the pioneers used wagons cars came Ayer on in history ( Henry Ford).
Martini-Henry.
Yes, the Confederacy did use the Spencer repeating rifle during the Civil War, although it was not a standard issue weapon for Confederate troops. The rifle was highly regarded for its rapid fire capability, and some Confederate soldiers captured them from Union forces or acquired them through other means. However, the majority of Confederate soldiers were equipped with more traditional single-shot rifles.
Repeating rifles are easy to use but you just need to be able to handle the recoil as they are very powerful. They also need a little bit of training if you already know how to use a rifle. P.s. Use them with a trained professional first! JK LOL dont belive me
The best guns in RDR regardless of SP or MP are:Evans and Henry Repeating Rifles (use the Henry when you need more power, the Evans when you need a lot of bullets on target).Springfield and Explosive Rifle for long range targets.High Power and Mauser PistolsSemi-Auto and Blunderbuss ShotgunsDynamite, Holy Water, Fire Bottles, and bait (Undead and Boom bait) work well to deal with Zombies.
No they were beyond that. Romans used spears. Pioneers had guns.

Apparently not, the first recorded use of the Gatling Gun in combat is at the siege of Petersburg a year later.
