Excellent update. The peacemaker fits really well into the game dynamic, although i agree with the decision not to allow you to dual weild it. The reload animation is 10/10.

All i would say is in future updates you might like to lean towards making the feel of the game a bit grittier. All headshots should be instant kill except coachgun ones; rifles should be unweildy at close range but have no deviation fired from still with iron sights; and is it possible to punish arm hits with inability to dual weild, leg hits with stamina always at zero? How about allowing hits to the hand/weapon area to 'shoot it out of your hand'? I just feel being shot at should be much more unpleasant, to encourage the use of cover.

Remove or heavily revise the 'invincible on spawn' system. On some maps you can have some dude spawn next to you and shoot you square in the head even if you saw him and shot at him first because him drawing and firing a gun doesn't get rid of his invicibility! deselecting fists should remove it, if not remove it overall.

Also, presumably you're working on a "standoff" mode but a couple of other ideas:

+ "Gallery"; 6 targets, 6 bullets, everyone has their own gallery; score based on number hit/how fast

+ "Wanted: Dead or Alive"; asymetrical gameplay with desperados in an easily defensible building with windows, which vigilantes have to assault; small notoriety rewards for kills, large ones for "arrests" made by either punch kills or a new 'weapon' just labelled 'rope' or something which just saps health; so that a healthier target is much harder to take than an injured one; that has to be used at zero range. Desperados get extremely slow respawn (15-30s) and lose when all are dead simultaneously.
