I have a Steyr m95. Originally built in 1895. Has an internal magazine, straight pull bolt action, and shoots a surprisingly big bullet. It’s pretty dangerous. Sadly the ammo is so expensive I’ve only shot 20 rounds through it.
You know the revolvers cowboys are famous for using are all pre-1898 and more than good guns, yeah? Assuming they’ve been maintained properly, that is
Even the black powder stuff is still going to be really damn good for most peoples uses (accuracy at short to medium range is just fine), I wouldn’t assume just because it’s older or powder that it’s not a good gun
Antique guns are pre 1898. Those guns are far more dangerous as a club than a gun.
