I have a theory that says Scarlet Rain boasts greater long-range firepower than Red Rider ever did... because she tried packing as many guns as possible into one single weapon.
The "Alpha Strike"; firing all of your weapons at once.
Rider could have had an even larger variety of guns, and some of them may have had firepower to put Heat Blast Saturation to shame... but he couldn't have matched the Hailstorm Domination for sheer carpet-bombing potential.
Even the merely Level 7 Crimson Kingbolt had more firepower than the original Red King, since his Mega-Machine also packed many long-range weapons into one alpha-striking package.
As evidenced by his gunsmithing item and his horse, Rider preferred a more flexible and mobile approach to long-range combat. Which meant holding only one gun at a time (a few, at the most) and choosing the right one for the specific opponent and situation.
Other Red avatars might be similar. Dual, rapid-fire handguns for close-range engagement, automatic rifles for mid-range engagement, sniper rifles for extreme long-range, mortars for bombarding over walls, rockets for structure-demolition...
