The reason I used the Perrin was the Leufeuchex at the time was reserved for the cavalry in Mexico and the officers of the Legion used the Perrin.

As for the specials, there wasn't any weapon that really could work as a direct comparison, so I felt that if anything could stand against the first repeater, it would be the first breach loader.
