Practically Perfect
Movie wise its like half and half. The metallic cartridge didn't come into vogue until around 1870, and smokeless powder around 1890. Western era guns continued to be the mainstay of the industry until after WWI when bol action rifles and auto pistols proved reliable and viable.
You do realize I was making film commentary about the Western genre, as a distinctly separate commentary from firearms, right? I don't know enough about guns to carry on that conversation very long.
