Urbane to say the least.

They should have invented a sort of Colt .45 version — shoot that sucker through the rails!

English-born John Tunstall and his business partner Alexander McSween, with backing from established cattleman John Chisum, opened a competing store in 1876. The two sides gathered lawmen, businessmen, Tunstall’s ranch hands[1] and criminal gangs to their support. The Murphy-Dolan faction were allied with Lincoln County Sheriff Brady, and supported by the Jesse Evans Gang. The Tunstall-McSween faction organized their own posse of armed men, known as the Regulators, to defend their position, and had their own lawmen, town constable Richard M. Brewer[2] and Deputy US Marshal

I wonder if they picked that up from Tunstall, the Brit whom Billie briefly worked for.

Considering the fact that, due to the state of photographic technology of the time, they had to stay still for 10 minutes, croquette was probably the best choice for the “action” shots.
