Wasn't sure where to put it, so just made a thread in case but.
I think it'd be neat if we had a "Level action" type of shotgun and possibly pistol and rifle. We've got western gear and a desert planet tileset. So why not have some lever actions?
The special interation for all three is you can only "Quick chamber" the next shot by twirling the gun. Said weapons would likely only hold a few rounds, but would be a western feel, likely the shotgun and pistols can be one handed with "weaker" rounds to compensate or less capacity, but the rifle is two handed and higher power and damage.
Open to any critiques or so for it, but I just think aside from some revolvers and maybe the MTs-255, we don't have a whole lot of wood and metal mixture guns such as lever action weaponry.

I am 100% behind this and 99% because I want to be able to twirl reload it (with chance to drop like always)

The Colt SAA requires you to cock the lever before firing each shot. Though it might only be in gang mode.

the detective gets the "peacemaker" job reward which also needs to be cocked and uses its sprite

That's not a lever action, though. The colt saa is just single-action, a lever action is something like a repeater. Look up winchester model 1866, that's a lever action, where you have your fingers through the loop at the underside of the gun and yank that loop down and back up into place to cock it every time you fire a shot.

The bandit event that was ran two years ago by Bartimeus and myself featured Winchester lever-action rifles (sprited by Mora, and coded by Barti). If there is an interest, the code is still available and could be ported back to master with his and Mora's permission.

I'd love to see some kind of SOMEWHAT available varmint rifle thing. Like a .22 two handed gun that you need to pump/cock between shots, but can have the 10 rounds a mag carries in it..
