More Lever-Actions!
Would it be possible to get some full length .357 magnum, and .44 magnum Lever-actions statued up?
I'm having trouble working out their ranges. |

Re: More Lever-Actions!
I googled “357 magnum GURPS lever gaming ballistic” because Doug always has the coolest worked stats: .357 stats , scroll down to the barrel length chart.
Sounds like his research indicated the .357 above 16” didn’t really gain in damage, so 5d+2 pi seems good. Other stats i found on Academy Sports for the 1873 Winchester that they sell in .357/.38 Special; it’s one with a 24” barrel. Product length (in.): 43 Barrel length (in.): 24 Magazine capacity: 14+1 Product weight: 8 pounds Give it Acc of regular Lever rifle Acc 5 and bulk -5; then probably Recoil 3 and RoF2.. Range maybe 700/3000 looking at the ‘94 Winchester .30-30 since it’s smokeless powder too. If you’re reloading Black Powder, check out the rules in AtE for damage reduction, but I’d list the BP .357 load at 350/2200 just guessing it between the .44-40 and the .45-70

Re: More Lever-Actions!
Don't know if this is what you want, but they're all black powder weapons based on cartridges from reference books. Damage is based on bullet weight in grains, velocity in feet per second, as well as diameter of .44 Inch
If you want more black powder damage values, let me know. Code:
3d+3 0.44 .44 Ballard Extra Long (.44 Extra Long Centerfire) 2d+0 0.44 .44 Evans (.44 Evans Short) 3d+2 0.44 .44 Evans New Model (.44 Evans Long, .44-40 Straight, .44-40-300) 3d+1 0.44 .44 Extra Long Rimfire 2d+3 0.44 .44 Henry Rimfire 3d+0 0.44 .44 Long Centerfire 2d+0 0.44 .44 Long Rimfire 1d+0 0.44 .44 Short Rimfire 3d+3 0.44 .44 Wesson Extra Long 3d+0 0.44 .44-40 Winchester (.44-40 WCF) 4d+1 0.44 .44-60 Peabody Creedmore - See .44-60 Sharps 4d+1 0.44 .44-60 Sharps (.44-60 Sharps necked, .44-60-1 7/8ths) 4d+1 0.44 .44-60 Winchester - See .44-60 Sharps 5d+0 0.44 .44-70 Maynard 5d+0 0.44 .44-77 Sharps (.44-77 Remington) 5d+0 0.44 .44-85 Wesson 5d+1 0.44 .44-90 Remington Special 5d+1 0.44 .44-90 Sharps 5d+2 0.44 .44-95 Peabody "What Cheer" 6d+0 0.44 .44-100 Ballard 6d+0 0.44 .44-100 Remington Creedmore Code:

IIRC the .357 lever action short carbine was, in the early 1980s, known as the "Brooklyn Special" as it was effective & one of the few firearms that could be owned in New York City.
