		Somewhere in the books it says that lever action long arms
can be "fanned" with the same penalties as a pistol.  The rifles actually
have an advantage in having more rounds per load so you aren't gonna be
empty as fast.

		In play we only had one hang up.  Non-lever action rifles
didn't seem shafted by being slower to fire.  The hitch was the lever action
shotgun that was found.  Damn that made a mess of a bad guy on a good
shootin' roll.  'Course it only held four rounds, so it did empty quick.
I'm not familiar with the weapon in real life history, whether it had
reliability issues or not.  I did rule that it had to use metal cased
shotgun rounds -- whether factual or not I decided that the paper cased
rounds might crumple or deform.  This weapon was no more of a problem than
the one Colt revolving rifle with insanely high damage dice... and I could
always use them _against_ the players...

			As I look at what I am wanting to do about SA and DA
pistols I am realizing that I also don't want to leave repeating rifles,
such as the Winchester behind. Has anyone that has changed the rule had a
problem with this.
