| rdfs:comment | - The mythical Winchester Rifle was born in the ancient town of Winchester, England, and was the firstborn child of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin in 10, 000BC. After the addition of magical wings it crossed to Europe and the New World and is today utilized by Red Necks as part of their wacky home protection arsenal. It has been featured in zombie rom-com 'shaun of the dead' as a Winchester rifle is used to fight off an army of the undead to great comedic effect.
- Winchester rifle is usually used to refer to the lever-action rifles manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, though the company has also manufactured many rifles of other action types. Winchester rifles were among the earliest repeating rifles; the Winchester repeater was incredibly popular and is colloquially known as "The Gun that Won the West" for its predominant role in the hands of Western settlers.
- The Winchester was the most common rifle found on the US frontier. It was first used in combat by the Tombstone Rangers, the defenders of Tombstone, where it didn't perform as well as the Confederates' own rifles. The Winchester was also used by Theodore Roosevelt and his Unauthorized Regiment. Roosevelt elected to standardize on it rather than the Springfield Carbine both due to the former's ready availability and superior rate of fire.
