Weapon Background
The Winchester Model 1887 is a lever-action shotgun originally designed by famed American gun designer John Browning and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was one of the first truly successful repeating shotguns ever produced.[1]
The Winchester Repeating Arms Company had been looking into introducing a shotgun to their catalogue offerings in the 1880s. The choice to design a shotgun rather than a handgun is due in part to an agreement made between Colt and Winchester. In order to preserve both company's profits and not divide the market, Colt agreed not to produce a rifle (Winchester's primary market), while Winchester agreed to not produce a revolver (Colt's primary market). And so in order to supplement Winchester's rifle sales, the legendary firearms designer and long-time partner of Winchester John Browning was tasked to design a new shotgun for the company. Browning had actually already been in the process of designing a shotgun, and suggested the use of a pump action mechanism for cycling the action. However, Winchester's vice-president at the time, T.G. Bennett, said that Winchester was known more as a "lever-action gun company", and as such the new shotgun should also be a lever-action weapon to preserve brand recognition. Browning responded by designing a breech-loading, lever-action shotgun, which Winchester adopted and sold as the Model 1887.
One of the more unconventional designs produced by Winchester, the Model 1887 uses a strange rolling block action. When the action opens, the breechblock rotates away and down from the chamber at a high speed, and the reverse happens when the action is closed. A shell is positioned from the under-barrel tube magazine to be picked up by a lifter, which sends it into battery. As the action closes, the recessed hammer is fully cocked; of note is that an interference is built into the parts which prevents the weapon from firing unless the action is fully closed and the hammer locked. As with most Winchester lever guns, the Model 1887 features a half-cock safety notch. The M1887 was chambered for black powder 12 or 10 gauge shells, and held a total of 5 rounds in its tubular magazine.
The Model 1887 was an instant success for Winchester, and would be offered from 1887 until 1899. The gun was used by a variety of law enforcement agencies, and also acted as a unique experimental platform for Winchester. Production of the Model 1887 ended in 1899, with a total of 64,855 units being produced.
Winchester did eventually realize the potential of the pump-action design, and later introduced a Browning-designed pump-action shotgun known as the Model 1893 (an early production version of the Model 1897). This shift in opinion came after the introduction of smokeless powder, as the lever-action design of the 1887 proved too weak to handle the new higher-pressure smokeless cartridges. In 1900, the action of the Model 1887 would be redesigned to handle smokeless powder shotgun shells, resulting in the Model 1901 shotgun. A 12-gauge chambering was not offered for the M1901, as Winchester did not want the gun to compete with their incredibly successful 12-gauge Model 1897 pump-action shotgun. While still being a sound design, the Model 1901 was not as successful as its predecessor, with only 13,500 being produced from 1899 to 1931, after which production was halted.

Trivia
- M1887's skill takes her dummy links into consideration when activated. This means that her skill can do a maximum of 5000 damage (1000 x 5 dummy links).
- The Model 1887 is famous in modern pop culture, primarily due to its appearance in the film Terminator 2: Judgement Day starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. M1887's skill name and the lever spin that 1887 does in between shots are a direct reference to the film. It's worth noting that it is actually impossible to shoot and reload the gun with only one hand as seen in the film with a standard M1887. This was achieved by modifying the trigger guard and the grip.
- Some countries restrict pump-action shotgun ownership, while lever-action shotgun are permitted. This makes the M1887 and other lever-action guns popular among gun owners and shotgun collectors in those countries.
- A notable exception to this is the Adler A110, which was banned in Australia due to operators being capable of "firing 8 shots in 8 seconds", making the A110 the fastest lever-action shotgun ever manufactured. The Australian Gun Ownership Law restricted any "Rapid-Fire Firearms" after the Port Arthur Massacre.[2]
- Three companies currently manufacture reproductions of this shotgun: ADI Limited (Australia Defense Industries, now Thales Australia), Chiappa, and Norinco.
