Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Wild, Wild, West have simple six-shooters?
And 10 to 15 shot Winchester rifles.

Yeah, but you usually only loaded five, to keep the hammer over an empty chamber.

They also had Gatling guns and anyone could buy one.
The Wild Wild West also had Gatling guns, to be fair.

In fact, the Gatling gun even predates metallic cartridges; the original design used reloadable cylinders containing ball, powder and a percussion cap.

Well, you are wrong! So-called six shooters in the western movies could be fired eighteen times and you never saw anyone reloading.
Hi-cap Colt Peacemakers? Yep, they had ‘em!

Yeah. And people still talk about the shootout at the OK Corral. 140 years later and people remember an event where 3 people were killed. Probably happens every weekend in LA.
