Since I shared a trick shot challenge in that other thread, I figure I might as well share what I've come up with here. In addition to trick-shot challenges, me and my buddy have been using Items with the latest version of 6 Gun Sound.
The basic idea with Items is that they each provide an extra attribute, but you must roll in the appropriate shop in a Carousing encounter to find it, then pay an upfront Decreasing Rep cost, plus additional upkeep per month. Per the oldschool THW RPG rules, item limit is your rep.
Feel free to share any challenges or items you've come up with. 6 Gun is by far my favorite ruleset setting-wise, so I'll get a kick out of anything you've come up with, no matter how broken 
COMBAT CHALLENGES

- On success, combine 2 guns in inventory for extra targets for the next shot. Two-handed weapons are not applicable.
