You can successfully infiltrate a rival gangs hideout without getting shot at if you run in pretending you are fleeing from a posse.
Racial tensions that erupt into brawls are hard on the peace and hard on the furniture.
While on horseback, if you get shot in the leg and drop your gun, double back around the barn and do a horsejump over your opponents head to knock him out when he comes by the barn door to look for you.
Too drunk to number these right now -

- You can spew coffee, fall over laughing, and/or get a knot-pain in your side from laughing so hard at the things you learnt from Silverado
- When practicing for definite up-coming gun fights with the bad guys, keep a knife on you so you can cut the rope with your free hands, in case they find you right after you emptied your pistols, and lasso you around the torso.
- practicing for definite up-coming gun fights, be sure you are really far enough out in the vast desert that no one can hear you, or find you.

- If your friend has been hog tied and is being bullied by three bad guys, and one of the bad guys has rode a horse over him a couple of times, and you arrive 'just short' of your friends death, simply shoot one of the bad guys in the hand and take their horses away so they have to walk back to town. This was sufficient punishment for bad guys the old western days.
- Letting really bad guys live after 3-4 times they couldve easily been shot insures an extensive shoot-out scene in town

- Always wear long johns that are real baggy in the crotch
- If you ride out of the bad guys barn where you've been hiding, you can ride across his porch and shoot thru thru a couple of windows before you know exactly where all your guys are . . .
- Sheriffs remove their hats before a show-down even when its really sunny.
- Even if your brother-in-law & sisters house burnt down, and they are still in slings & bandages, you can still go ahead and leave town, and they should load up in a wagon and ride out past the edge of town to say goodbye to you.

- Even when the saloon is empty, dead bodies get removed pretty quick from the porch during shoot outs
- The man who owns the general store displays his porceline dishes outside prior to a shoot-out even the old west had insurance schemes
- Regardless of how small a town was, people still had to 'hide and watch' to find out what was goin' on
- If you run the gambling in the saloon you are extremely dispensable and can have no job security.
- Everyone casually trusts any stranger who comes to town, even if he is a gambler named 'slick' and is probably jewish.
- During a shoot-out in town the sheriff can just casually sit on the porch of the jailhouse ina rocker polishing his badge.
He will not even accidently get shot untilit jis turm to paeticipate.
