I am not sure of the origin of the term "Mountain Gun," except as a marketing tool.
My belief is that S&W appropriated the term "Mountain Gun" from a traditional name for lightweight cannons that were fairly easily totable (at least, compared to full-size artillery) into rugged terrain, yet packed a fair amount of punch.
