Well the Lancaster Repeater has I think 14 bullets mag, that's a big plus when you consider the time that it takes to reload and how often you have to do it. That's just what I've found out, maybe there is a another reason to it that I haven't discovered. When it comes to upgrades, there really aren't any, there a visual upgrades and you can upgrade the barrel for a small improvement, but that's it, the only way to I guess improve a gun, is by just simply getting other types of bullets, high velocity, etc...
Hopefully that helped hahah
