This weapon is part of the rifles.

The Winchester 73, also known as the "gun that won the West" was produced a million times by Winchester alone. The most common version found in the Wasteland was first produced in 2023 for the 150th birthday of this rifle. In a more modern, robust form it was, thanks to many commercials and worries due to the deteriorating geo political situation, a great success. Just like in 1873, the shorter carbine version proofed the most popular, which gave the wasteland a lightweight, easy to carry and very dangerous weapon, especially on short ranges.
