IIRC, the Bullard was a lever-action. House rule in my game, it does 5d8
because the Bullard cartridge was short and squatty as opposed to the
Sharp's .50, which was a monster.

Yep. But it's a .22, IIRC, so the barrels and shells are small.

True. A smoothbore.

Yep. It was, however, black powder and slow to reload.

Newer model. Heavier round.
