Old West Sourcebooks?

[QUOTE=Dunadin777;1130602 I know there's a GURPS Old West book for 3e, but I'm wondering how useful that will be for making a campaign in 4e--whether it retains its value as a guide for creating a setting in the current edition, and so on.

Use the setting info as you choose but be quite careful of the firearms info in G:Old West. Some of it was dubious for 3e and will be even worse for 4e. Do not let PCs buy the ACC 6 Buntline Colt pistol as just one example.

There's a double action "Peacemaker" in Old West that requires some handwaving too.

I would find the new HT quite adequate for my firearms needs.
