Burden of Choice wasn’t born entirely in the world of Guns of Eschaton. We were inspired by the most famous single-shot rifle of the American West: the Sharps Model 1874. And yes, “single-shot” means exactly what you think it does.

So people were paying over three times as much for a rifle that only held ONE round. Why? Power, range with special sights, and accuracy. That's why this weapon quickly gained the nickname "Old Reliable".

And it wasn’t a cheap gun. A Sharps could cost around $33 while some Winchester repeating rifles sold for about $10. In today’s money, that’s roughly $970 vs. $300.

The 1874 held just one round at a time. Fire, open the action, remove the empty case, load another bullet, close it, and you were ready again. No magazine. No quick follow-up shot. You had to make that one count.

First though, why “Sharps”? It’s not a nickname for how accurate the rifle was. The name comes from Christian Sharps, the American firearms designer who patented an early version of his breech-loading rifle mechanism back in 1848.

Missed the first history lesson about the Colt 1860 Army Conversion? Catch up here:
Not every gun in Guns of Eschaton came straight from our imagination. Some have very real 19th-century roots. Take the Duster, based on the Colt 1860 Army Conversion. A bit of history below! ⤵️

By 1852, Smith & Wesson were business partners, and more than 170 years later, their names remain well recognized.

And the name? Smith & Wesson really is just two surnames. Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson met while working in the gunmaking industry in the early 1850s and soon started developing firearms together.

Instead of removing spent cases one by one, you could clear the whole cylinder in one motion, load fresh cartridges, snap it shut, and get back to shooting. Pretty clever for something designed over 150 years ago, eh?

Its coolest feature? The revolver could hinge open at the top. So when you opened it, the barrel and cylinder tipped forward, pushing the empty cartridge cases out at the same time.

No. 3 was Smith & Wesson’s first large-frame revolver, introduced in 1870, and built for metallic cartridges from the start. The shift away from older cap-and-ball revolvers began there.
