The Guns!!



During the times of the old wild west, guns werent prohibited ( neither they are today in the U.S.A), but however due to the lack of security and the long journeys that people had to do exposed to robbers and smuglers it was common that every person had their own gun, which was commonly six bullets revolvers.
This times where also the epoch during which many of the gun brands that still exist where formed, por example; colt, remington, and magnum. However you couldn't expect much of these guns, they could get easily damaged, stucked, as well as bullets which could be defective and explode inside your own gun. Also it wasn't easy to aim, neither shots had a long distance, however using these guns is how plenty of criminals got to be known and famous until nowadys.

The Hoes.

During the Wild West epoch, there were plenty of hoes and famous criminals, normally their fame came from what people said about them, for example their ability when shooting, riding horses, fighting, drinking, and generally everything related with men’s topics.


One of these hoes was called Henry Mc Arthy, better known as Billy the Kid, his main activity was to steal horses and cattle, however he was also known because he died killed when he was 21 years old, accused of killing 21 men and having fame of being a terrible hoe since he began his delinquent activities when he was still a small kid.



The Old West or Wild West is the epoch that took place during the 19 century, including for example the american civil war. During this time the United States expanded from coast to coast. The nation grew from an agrarian society to an industrialized nation. It's name therefore comes from the campaigns made by the government in order to conquer and poblate the areas in the west. During this campaigns many incidents happened such as the construction of new railroads, construction of new towns, gold mining and new industries all this created a boom, which atracted not only people interested in the progress but as well hoes and criminals looking to take their share out of it.
