Winchester Model 1897

An early pump-action, single-barreled shotgun from the late 1890s, this weapon is used by host characters in the Westworld park, most prominently Armistice. 
== Background ==
Designed by the famous firearms engineer John Browning, this shotgun was an early example of a commercially successful firearm using pump-action reloading. Though pump-action is commonplace and preferred in modern shotguns, and had been invented in the mid 19th century, it was not a common reloading mechanism in new shotgun designs until the late 19th century. The M1897 initially began as an improved version of the Model 1893.
