The game includes historical black‑powder firearms such as the Colt Peacemaker, S&W Schofield, Volcanic pistol, Deringer, Smith Carbine, Sharps rifle and Henry Rifle.

Players can equip a primary and secondary weapon and select special perks, influencing the skill‑based scoring system where more difficult attacks earn higher points.

Dual Wield System
A detailed dual‑wield mechanic lets players hold two handguns simultaneously, displaying a double dynamic crosshair. Players can flip weapons for extra accuracy, or drop/throw a handgun as a projectile attack. This system adds depth to close‑range engagements. The dual‑wield feature works across all modes, allowing creative tactics such as swapping fire rates or using thrown pistols to distract enemies.
