In some western movies, the cowboys often used a short rifle, I know sometimes it was called puma rifle, sometimes it was called wenchester rifle. What the diffrence between them?

From what I could find, in original context, Pumas were modifications/caliber conversions to old Winchesters for use of modern revolver cartridges and didn't really come around until the 1970's. In contemporary times, Puma is a manufacturer of Winchester 92 clones. Sadly, I think Winchester ceased all production of lever action rifles (at least the classic designs) a few years ago.

I think you are reffering to the winchester 1894 model they had a shorter barrel comonly reffered to as a "brush gun" 22. 38. 44. 45. cal versions. Errant AI is correct puma was a mod company.

Is your Western pack just guns or are you going to add other things like beer bottles etc?

Not only guns. chairs , tables, bottles, hats, carriage, fense, buildings, rocks, trees, whatever I can remember.
I like an old western movie. The story was about revenge. A brave boy came to see his brother who was a policeman. He joined their police team , but they were killed by the badguy who is named cavendish(may be not correct).In the end, the boy defeated all the badguys as a hero.Sorry for my poor telling.

who knows the movie's title please? Most of my ideas are from that.

BTW, the horse of the boy was called silver.

I'm prety sure that most of the beer would have been served in a glass mug as a draft from a wooden keg.
Glass items were not made to be disposable back then, like they are today.
Also, the wagon trails west were too bumpy to transport glass.
You were lucky to have a window pane before the railroad came.
So, I imagine that alot of the beer mugs would have been pewter or tin or some other metal cup, if not ceramic.
