Foundry makes single figure gunfighters, as does Dixon. West Wind makes packs of two mounted and dismounted figures.

Perry and Copplestone don't make Wild West figures, are you thinking of Foundry?.

Sorry I mean just the big guns, gatling etc. Like the Perry Sudan one, it's not really OW but would be ok in deadlands...

Eureka had some c. 1900 naval guns, I think.

The Perries are usually quite helpful when you talk to them, why not send an email explaining what you are after and why and ask if they could help out ?

Gatlings were used in the Wild West.  Custer was offered some in 1876 but he relied on his single shot carbines instead.....................

Foundry did, so should still, do 2 Gatlings on artillery carriages in a pack in the ACW range.

Quite, but I'm not sure the Perry Sudan one quite fits the bill.

Have you seen the film "The Big Gun"?

You're right, the Perry Gatling is right for the Sudan, not so for Old West stuff. The Foundry one would fit the bill.

I have a particularly useful book about the Gatling gun, loads and loads of variants used all over the place.
