This is the story of how a humble invention terrorised the world.
The Gun, be it friend or foe is an essential part of the modern
World In it's infancy it was used as a means of protection
And hunting for food, but even useful things can develop
Sinister uses in the wrong hands.

When used for duelling purposes, two men would meet at a secret
Rendevous along with their seconds and a referee to carry out a
Fight to the death with these pistols, firing only one shot, they Would stand back to back, walk ten paces forward,turn and then fire At each other the loser would be lying dead on the ground or badly Hurt in some cases, prior to this it was done with swords, later Times duelling became banned.

Marshall's would create law and order in the towns, and the gun
Was the only law men understood to settle disputes, in a bar a Gunfight would erupt by a drunken cowboy, or at a card game
Someone would be caught cheating, the result was a gunfight
With a derringer a very small single or two shot pistol
Concealed by the user, it all came down to the famous shoot out
On the street, were the Law and lawbreaker would shoot it out,
People would take cover during this event for their own safety.
