About
Gunfighters, also called gunslingers, were individuals in the American Old West who gained a reputation of being dangerous with a firearm and participated in deadly shootouts. The gunfighter can be a lawman, outlaw, cowboy, shooting exhibitionist, or a hired gun, who is quick on the draw with a handgun or highly-skilled with rifles and shotguns.

In modern times, many historians attempted to separate fact and fiction between such historical gunmen.
