Download Gunslinger

Gunfighters, also called gunslingers (/nslr/), or in the late 19th and early 20th century, gunmen were individuals in the American Old West who gained a reputation of being dangerous with a gun and participated in gunfights and shootouts. Today, the term "gunslinger" is more or less used to denote someone who is quick on the draw with a handgun, but this can also refer to those armed with rifles and shotguns. The gunfighter is also one of the most popular characters in the Western genre and has appeared in associated films, television shows, video games, and literature.

In films, the gunslinger often possesses a nearly superhuman speed and skill with the revolver. Twirling pistols, lightning draws, and trick shots are standard fare for the gunmen of the big screen.[1] In the real world, however, gunmen who relied on flashy tricks and theatrics died quickly, and most gunslingers took a much more practical approach to their weapons. Real gunslingers did not shoot to disarm or to impress, but to kill.[1]

In the days of the Old West, tales tended to grow with repeated telling, and a single fight might grow into a career-making reputation.[1][10] For instance, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral made legends of Wyatt Earp and the Cochise County Cowboys, but they were relatively minor figures before that conflict. Some gunslingers, such as Bat Masterson, actively engaged in self-promotion. Johnny Ringo built a reputation as a gunslinger while never taking part in a gunfight or killing unarmed civilians.[citation needed]

Quick draw and hip shooting was a rare skill in the West,[17] and only a handful of historically known gunslingers were known to be fast, such as Luke Short, John Wesley Hardin, and Wild Bill Hickok.[9][15] Shooting a pistol with one hand is normally associated with gunslingers,[18] and is also a standard for them of the era to carry two guns and fire ambidextrously. Capt. Jonathan R. Davis carried two revolvers in his iconic gunfight,[19] while Jesse James himself carried over half a dozen revolvers in many of his gunfights.[20]

The image of two gunslingers with violent reputations squaring off in a street is a Hollywood invention.[21] However, face-to-face fast draw shootouts did occur in the real West.[9][12] These duels were first recorded in the South, brought by emigrants to the American Frontier as a crude form of the "code duello," a highly formalized means of solving disputes between gentlemen with swords or guns that had its origins in European chivalry.[31] By the second half of the 19th century, few Americans still fought duels to solve their problems, and it became a thing of the past in the United States by the start of the 20th century.[32] Writer Wyatt-Brown in his book "Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South" described dueling in the American frontier as a "custom", and was primarily used for teenage disputes, rise in rank, status, and scapegoating.[33]

The most famous and well-recorded duel occurred on 21 July 1865, in Springfield, Missouri.[21][25] Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt quarreled over cards and decided to have a gunfight. They arranged to walk toward each other at 6 pm. Wild Bill's armed presence caused the crowd to immediately scatter to the safety of nearby buildings, leaving Tutt alone in the northwestern corner of the square. When they were about 50 yards apart, both men drew their guns. The two fired at the same time, but Hickok's shot hit Tutt in the heart, while Tutt's shot missed. This was the first recorded example of two men taking part in a quick-draw duel. The following month Hickok was acquitted after pleading self-defense. The first story of the shootout was detailed in an article in Harper's Magazine in 1867 and became a staple of the gunslinger legend.[31]

Alongside the iconic cowboy, gunfighters have become a cultural image of the American people abroad, and also as an idealized image of violence, frontier justice, and adventure.[63][64] Even outside of the Western genre, the term 'gunslinger' has been used in modern times to describe someone who is fast and accurate with pistols, either in real life or in other fictional action genres.[65][66][67]

Many Japanese manga and anime have also adopted the western genre. Yasuhiro Nightow is known for creating the space Western Trigun.[73] The story's protagonist, Vash the Stampede, is a wandering gunslinger with a dark past. Unlike other violence-themed gunslingers, Vash carries a Shane-like pacifist attitude, and avoids killing men, even dangerous enemies. Behind him is the gun-toting priest named Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who carries with him a heavy machine gun and rocket launcher shaped like a cross. Nicholas is more violent than Vash, and the two would often argue about killing opponents. Other western genre-themed manga and anime include Cowboy Bebop and Kino's Journey, which both incorporate knight-errant gunslinger themes.[74][75]

Modern-day western gunslingers have also appeared in recent Neo-Westerns.[76] Raylan Givens from the television series Justified shares the same ambiguous moral code of an Old West sheriff, even using a fast draw to dispatch his enemies. The hitman Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men shares many elements of a hunted outlaw.[77] Additionally, the comic book character Vigilante is a self-proclaimed gunfighter born in the 1940s.[78]

I'd like to know if using the mod anemic agility (90% fire rate - 15% dmg) is really better than using gunslinger (72% fire rate) ? Because i'm afraid lot of fire rate + damage penalty doesn't make a big difference, except less ammo efficiency.

I think bug 3 actually has to do with AN4 rather than gunslinger itself. I remember back in the day this exact behaver with Strelok occurred in the version of AN3 that replaced the map file. AN3 also had a mesh/texture only version without the bug. I think AN4 has no mesh/texture only version unfortunately. I will have to test this myself, it'd be quite disappointed if this mod that messed up my 1st playthrough on an old version 10 years ago is still in the newest version to this day.

The West is stacked with dangerous gunslingers on every team, the North boasts the defending conference champ, the South could be due for some better luck, and the East features our preseason favorite to take home the Lombardi Trophy.

Conclusions: We propose that this new gait pattern, which we term "gunslinger's gait," may result from a behavioural adaptation, possibly triggered by KGB or other forms of weapons training where trainees are taught to keep their right hand close to the chest while walking, allowing them to quickly draw a gun when faced with a foe. This should be included in the differential diagnosis of a unilaterally reduced arm swing.

There the gunslinger sat, his face turned up into the fading light. He dreamed his dreams and watched as the stars came out; his purpose did not flag, nor did his heart falter; his hair, finer now and gray, blew around his head, and the sandalwood-inlaid guns of his father lay smooth and deadly against his hips, and he was lonely but did not find loneliness in any way a bad or ignoble thing. The dark came down on the world and the world moved on. The gunslinger waited for the time of the drawing and dreamed his long dreams of the Dark Tower, to which he would some day come at dusk and approach, winding his horn, to do some unimaginable final battle.

Great job Richard. I loved The Gunslinger, and I could read it again, and again. And I, like you, devoured it and all of the other volumes too. What made The Gunslinger so exciting to me was to have a gunslinger among wizards and crystal balls. I think that was what hooked me deep into those volumes; plus Roland also reminded me of my favorite actor, Clint Eastwood. My hero!! when it comes to westerns.

The Gunslinger is this hero. They might be from The Western, Film Noir, Heroic Bloodshed or just plain scenery-destroying action flicks. A wandering gunslinger is often The Drifter, one specifically out to do good is also the Knight Errant. But overall for some reason, alongside the Cowboy, gunslingers have also become a cultural image of American people and American warrior culture abroad.

The series East of West is filled with all types of gunslingers, which is to be expected from a comic book series that draws a heavy amount of inspiration from the Western genre. Just about every major character is expected to be some sort of master gunman, but the two most notable ones are The Ranger and The Horseman of Death. Both of whom possess superhuman levels of marksmanship, making Trick Shot experts. Grifter of the Wild Cats Wild Storm is always depicted wielding two guns at once in just about every appearance he's made. Judge Dredd is a solid Trick Shot thanks to his years of practice.

He wields a pair of Magical Revolvers that allow him to hit any target he lays his eyes on and will never miss. This includes being able to fire and have his bullet curve through obstacles and hit his target with a clean shot.

At the end of his story, he shoots an entire warehouse filled with assassins before any of them manage to fire off a single round. Marv rarely uses a gun even though his is the most famous due to its name. From what we see, he's more of a quickdraw. Being an amalgamation of every western gunslinger in fiction, Jonah Hex is naturally a professional in the Trick Shot and the Woo. And is the undisputed king of the Quick Draw. For example, he is the only person in The DCU who has been able to outdraw Batman in a duel. Jules from Bazooka Jules is an extremely good shot with any type of gun, big or small, despite not having any combat experience.

Cable and Bishop are both perfect examples of the Vaporizer. Not only that but they are routinely depicted firing guns that are even larger than they are! And considering the large stature of both men, that is saying something Longshot and Domino both use their mutant power to subconsciously alter probability in their favor, so if there's a trillion-to-one chance of them landing a perfect shot, you can bet that they will make that shot.
