This is a trio of low-level outlaws for use in Old West campaigns. They can also be used as bandits in a more modern setting. They have not gained enough noteriety yet to have Reputations or Outlaw's Enemies (p.OW32). The three can be used as a group or individually.

While these are only 25-point characters, they have good gun skills and are thus a real threat to most PCs. Firearms are detailed in GURPS Old West 2e, the holsters in GURPS Compendium II.
