Description

The western rifle has a small lever below the handle, which in order to prime the gun is pushed away towards the barrel, then pulled back to the handle. A rifle has an inner magazine which allows it to fire 10 times as a standard action without reloading. Reloading a rifle takes 10 bullets, is a full-round action, and provokes attacks of opportunity.

Normally, operating a rifle requires two hands; However, you can shoot a rifle with one hand at a –4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a rifle with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two one-handed weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
