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...

Has anyone that has changed the rule had a problem with this.
