	Compared to its peers, the M1877 "Lightning" is a moderately powerful [[firearms\|firearm]], performing decently in multiple areas across the board. Aside from firepower, this includes rate-of-fire and accuracy, and it was a superior weapon to the [[Single Action Army]] which had a longer barrel. The M1877 was, however, produced in at least two different models which differed in the cartridge they operate. These were nicknamed the "Lightning" and [[M1877 "Thunderer"\|"Thunderer"]] respectively with the offering less power and accuracy than the latter.<ref ~~name="ACS"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>		Compared to its peers, the M1877 "Lightning" is a moderately powerful [[firearms\|firearm]], performing decently in multiple areas across the board.

	*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'', the M1877 "Lightning" is anachronistic because whereas the gun was first manufactured in 1877 as indicated by its model number, the game is set in 1868. Curiously enough, even though the {{wiki\|Bergmann 1896}}, another handgun from the game, is renamed the [[Self-Loading Pistol Model 1868]] in an attempt to rectify its anachronism, the same was not done for the M1877 "Lightning" and "Thunderer". Because the ''[[Jack the Ripper (DLC)\|Jack the Ripper]]'' [[downloadable content]] is set in 1888 and [[The Darkest Hour]] in 1916, the "Lightning" is no longer anachronistic in these segments.
