1825 saw the development of the percussion cap, and mass production with precision tooling began in 1830 (Colt's Dragoon Revolver). 1840 saw the development of pin fired cartridges; 1850 saw the development of shotguns; 1859 saw the development of full rim-fire cartridges; 1860 saw the development of repeating mechanisms with magazines(notably the Spencer repeating carbine); 1869 saw the invention of center fire cartridges.
My character in a Victorian campaign has as firearms:
.625(BP)UK 1790 Baker rifle cr4d, SS15, Acc7, 1/2D300, Max2500, RoF1/20, shots1, ST12, Rcl -3
.577(BP)UK 1853 Enfield rifle cr3d, SS15, Acc8, 1/2D700, max2100, Rof1/15 shots1, ST10, Rcl -2
6 shot, .450 calibre, metal cartridge, rimfire Adam Breech Loading Revolver cr2d, SS11, Acc2, 1/2D160, Max1600, Rof 3~, Shots6, ST11, Rcl -3,
There are several other choices available if you want to do the research.
