Pov: you were telling everybody in town how good of a shot you are and now you find yourself in a Mexican stand off against the deadly gunslinger.

"So, you say you're the fastest one around, eh?" The Mexican bartender cleaned a glass, smirking at the young man in front of him. "Aye! Just put me up against anyone here!" The man lifted his arms, looking around the bar. Nobody but the old banker in the corner could even handle a gun, let alone participate in a duel.
The saloon doors opened, and a large man came into the bar, followed by two plump goons. "Hey, Al!" The bartender waved over the new customer, readying a drink. "This guy thinks he can take anyone here in a duel, you wanna prove it?" The older man chuckled, "Grab your iron!" He grinned as he got up and left the bar.
Welp, I'm screwed!

You’re doing stand up in a Tavern and are heckled by an infamous Outlaw. Off the stand up a standoff-ish stand off begins when you must stand up for yourself!

"So, I said to the woman, 'Why'd I pay to kiss a cow?'" The bar erupted in laughter, as drunk men got drunker and working women got work. A very fat man approached the small stage where the man stood, cracking jokes. "Sounds like my wife!", he yelled, sending another wave of laughter through the bar. "I think it might be! If your wife looks just like you!", the comedian snapped a joke right back at him, but his face was of anger, not joy. "You making fun of me?", he put his hands on his oversized hips. "You think I'm complimenting you?" The comedian bent down, now face to face with the "gentleman."
The fat man's face turned sour, and he grabbed the comedian's neck, throwing him down into the crowd. The attacker went for his gun, but a pedestrian held his arms back, as the comedian steadied himself. He planted a fist into the man's face, then another, and another. The fat man shook and turned, but he could not get out of the bar-goers grip...

You can't say how you got to this point, but the dress is already on. You have to join the ladies, you're normally trying to spend the night with, on stage and keep the sherriff from looking in the back room of the tavern.

Bounty hunters and the Law finally catches up to a desperado outlaw on the run and his ride-or-die girlfriend who is actually the real Deadeye crackshot in the relationship while he's the silver tongued smooth talking con artist.
The pair had been rolling through frontier towns scamming folk in rigged card games and other schemes, and gunning down those who came after them for years. Now their time is up.

There's a train of gold bullion coming in by town. Every criminal and thief this side of the Atlantic wants a piece of that pie, but the train crew have a nasty surprise in store for them.

You have a six shooter with one bullet but an army of Confederates to get through to inact your revenge for your gang

You blow into town as the Man With No Name, but the residents want nothing to do with you, having heard about you going from town to town solving townfolk’s problems but these people want none of that. You try to find out why they don’t want your help.

Throughout your life as a gunslinger, you've seen some interesting things. Weird weapons, weird techniques, the whole sha-bang. However, you have a feeling that fighter jet might just take everything else out of the park.

You ,as the best slinger in the county, are shocked as you engage in a dual with the foreign gun man, and instead of dying, he just shouts wildly everywhere with bad aim.
