Winchester Model 1873

Description

This is an American lever-action carbine that was the subject of a movie of the same name starring Jimmy Stewart. The rifle is a collectors' item in the U.S., but can still be found overseas as a hunting weapon. Modern cartridges are still made for it.

Note: The maximum calculated barrel length for this ammunition is 23 cm. To achieve the historical overall length of this weapon, the barrel was increased to 84 cm. However, all calculations for muzzle energy, damage, range and recoil were generated using the 23 cm value.
