"i hate OP weapons, they ruin the game"
*proceeds to think the .45 rifle is a balanced weapon*

I'm glad you guys are talking about this now.
The .45 is lazy as hell. I hate it. I was, more or less, using it as a reference to all core guns, because it's no secret that the .45 is the commercial face weapon of West.
I'll push as far as you want, because I despise "ease of use". Keep throwing "salt" back at me, but I don't see you producing any solutions. It's a good thing to talk, but nothing gets achieved unless you produce when you detract.
Any weapon in West that allows you to hold the trigger and spam should be banned, in my opinion too. Let's just go ball-out now, if you wanna throw the kid-gloves down.
I've been using the Viper lately, and I feel much less bored- much more attentive to the game because I actually have to manually pull the shots instead of hold the trigger like a zombie.
And to be honest, I'm not sure how many of you have tried, but you can spam even harder with the Viper than the .45- it takes focus, and my rhythm locks up if I become too flustered in a base... but this hardship alone has livened the game up a bit for me. I think the .45 should be banned along with AGAIN: All GP/HS weapons, and shotguns.
^ In all fairness, the Colt and Remington were legendary guns of the American West. Sad that we can't simply have use for a 6-shooter in a Western-themed game. I'm all up for having shotguns too- but realistically- with 1-2 shots, high freeze, and reload... much like the (very beautifully made, if I may) Carcano Rifle. High risk. High payoff. A useful element in particular situations, but not all. Flavor- not ultimatum.
And this is just the gun side of it. As I've said, I have ideas. We can fix this game. But after seeing the reaction, I think everyone is actually better off just spamming doorways with a GP bow...
^ and I say again, it's only a matter of time until every single player in the game is going to be spamming each other with GP bows.
