About the Mare's Leg
The 1892 Lever action Mare's Leg was the name given to a customized, shortened rifle by Steve McQueen’s character on the television series Wanted: Dead or Alive. McQueen’s character was named Josh Randall, and the gun has also been referred to as a Winchester Randall, or a Randall Special. "Mare's leg" is now a generic term for a Winchester Model 1892 with a shortened barrel and stock. Known for being almost impractical, and not so accurate because the barrel it cut off, It's not really meant for long range or practicality. It's a fun gun to shoot, Looks bad ass and is great for riding along in your truck - pop it out your window - Boom The left over beer can is gone. 
In Fistful of Frags 
Originally the mare's leg was one of the best weapons in the game. 11 shots, quick reload, huge damage and the ability to fan the gun. However, after extensive nerfing the Mare's Leg isn't as good as it used to be. The Mare's Leg now only has: 8 shots, a 10% slower rate of fire, a 35% slower fanning speed and a 25% slower reload speed. Now that's a big nerf but It also received a 15% accuracy buff. So the up to date Mare's Leg isn't as good as it was. With an 11 second reload for 8 shots you'll need to find somewhere to reload in peace. Plus the slower rate of fire is hard to deal with, but if you take your time and use the accuracy buff to your advantage you can still drop someone close range with one head shot and deal around 76 damage to the chest. Again, it's similar to the Colt Navy as in it's just one of the weapons that gets better the more you use it. You can acquire the Mare's Leg from spawn and find it in the Blue Chest. You will gain an average +6 Notoriety Per Kill.
