You have to upgrade from your Daisy Red Ryder. Some of the PCP rifles have 
impressive specs. Nothing new.

The savages were impressed by Lewis' toy. Despite the expedition's many 
encounters with different tribes they only killed two Blackfeet who were 
trying to steal their horses and guns. The Blackfeet have a different 
story. It might be more plausible if the Blackfeet didn't have a long 
history of robbing and killing their neighbors.
