Revision as of 00:03, 13 September 2010
The following weapons appear in the video game Red Dead Redemption:
Handguns
Single Action Army
In-game, it appears to take it's name and likeness from an 1873 Uberti Cattleman Replica.This is the first handgun you start with and it's good enough to last you through the first third of the game. The game devs pretty much got this gun right except John Marston manages to fire the pistol without pulling back on the hammer. It's considerable ingame but in cinematics it sticks out like a sore thumb. It uses Revolver Ammunition.
Volcanic Pistol
Called the "Volcanic Pistol" in game. It behaves a lot like the Winchester, but with much less range. It is first available at the gunsmith in Armadillo. Uses Pistol ammunition.
Smith & Wesson No. 3 Revolver
Called the "Schofield Revolver" ingame this is given to you when you first get to Mexico. It's basically a direct upgrade over the Cattleman, and is almost as strong as the Volcanic. It uses Revolver Ammunition.
Borchardt C-93
Called 'Semi-Automatic Pistol' In-game. This is the first "new age" handgun that you come across in the game. It looks god awful sticking out of the holster but it is a good firearm. It holds seven shots and can be first purchased at the gunsmith in Escalera once you get to Mexico. Dutch van der Linde uses one in the mission "Great Men are Not Always Wise". A free one can be obtained if the player clears out the Fort Mercer bandit hideout after the mission 'We'll Be Together In Paradise'. Uses Pistol Ammunition.
Colt New Service
It is named the 'Double Action Revolver' In-game. It is pretty powerful which must make it a .45 of some sort and it is the fastest firing revolver in the game. It also reloads a little faster than the Schofield and LeMat. It becomes available sometime during the Mexican missions and uses Revolver Ammunition.
There is also a (sweet) gold-plated version
LeMat Revolver
Called the "LeMat Revolver" ingame. It is sold at the gunsmith's shop in Escalera but for some reason is not available for purchase until after the Mexican missions. It holds 9 shots but the under barrel shotgun function is not usable. Unlike what the RDR wiki said before the actual game released the reloading is actually fast because it's incorrectly depicted as a break action like the Schofield. This was apparently an idea lifted from the old TV western Johnny Ringo (http://www.johnnyringo.net/Pictures/LeMatopen91CU.jpg). However the look as depicted in-game still shows the lack of a "top strap" and still still shows the nipples used to hold percussion caps. It uses Revolver Ammunition. It is one of the rare weapons.
Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer
The "Schnellfeuer" machine-pistol variant of the Mauser C96 self-loading pistol appears as a regular C96, and is called the "Mauser Pistol" in game. It holds 15 shots and is first available at the gunsmith in Blackwater. It uses Pistol Ammunition. It is one of the rare (or just really expensive) weapons. The fire-rate is multiplayer is much lower than in singleplayer, most likely for balance reasons. Highly anachronistic as the first full-auto C96 variant did not exist before the late 1920s.
FN Model 1903
Edgar Ross give John an FN Browning 1903 pistol with pearl grips in the mission "Bear One Other Man's Burdens". Called the "High Power Pistol" in-game, it is distinguishable from the Colt 1903 Hammerless by it's longer barrel and slide. It uses Pistol ammunition.
Rifles
Spencer Model 1860 Carbine
Called the "Repeating Carbine" ingame. This is the rifle the player starts with and is the weakest. The weapon has a somewhat slow rate of fire compared to later repeaters. It holds 7 shots and uses Repeater Ammunition.
Despite the fact that the real Spencer is loaded from a tube magazine in the butt-stock, the game depicts the rifle as a seven-round repeating breech-loader. Someone didn't do their homework.
Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine
Called the "Winchester Repeater" ingame. This is the second rifle that the player gets, it can either be purchased from the gunsmith in Armadillo or received during an early mission soon after. Holds 10 shots and is a very reliable long arm for a good portion of the game. It uses Repeater Ammunition.
looks alittle more like an 1894 winchester to me due to the size of the reciever
1873 Trapdoor Springfield Cavalry Carbine
Called the "Springfield Rifle" ingame. This can be purchased from the gunsmith in Thieves' Landing and is a great hunting gun.The only real flaw is that expensive Rifle Ammunition is largly unavailable on enemies until late in the Mexican chapter. It unrealistically holds 4 shots instead of one and it appears that John Marston works the gun like a bolt action between shots (he flips the trapdoor up closes it then the hammer gets cocked with no animation). It uses Rifle Ammunition.
Krag-Jørgensen Rifle
Called the "Bolt Action Rifle" in game. This weapon has a fast reload rate thanks to the stripper clips (which is impossible in real life) and is also pretty powerful. The firing speed is about the same as the Henry Repeater but the range is slightly improved. It can first be purchased at the gunsmith in Escalera, but can be seen in the hands of Mexican soldiers long before then. It holds 5 shots and uses Rifle Ammunition.
1860 Henry Rifle
Called the "Henry Repeater" ingame. This is the third repeating rifle that the player gets, it is first available in Mexico while doing a side quest, which leads into a gang hideout side mission. It holds 12 shots and has a faster firing and reload speed than the Winchester Repeater, though the stopping power is equal. Uses Repeater Ammunition. like the Spencer this rifle is also incorrectly depicted as being reloaded from the receiver, in reality you had to load the cartridges from the front end of the magazine tube
Remington Rolling Block Sporting Rifle
Fitted with a "Long Malcolm" scope it is called the "Rolling Block Rifle" ingame. The player picks it up during a job for the Mexican military and is the first sniper rifle the player gets. It's single shot and uses Sniper Rifle Ammunition.
Evans Repeating Rifle
Classified as a rare weapon according to Rockstar's website. It is called the "Evan's Reapeater" ingame. It is first available for purchase at the gunsmith in Blackwater and holds 22 shots rather than the real life 34 (but that is understandable). It has practically the same power as the Winchester and Henry but with just double the capacity and a somewhat faster reload speed. It uses Repeater Ammunition.
Carcano Rifle
Called the "Carcano Rifle" in-game. It is first available for purchase from the gunsmith in Blackwater. It is basically a combination of the Rolling Block Rifle and Bolt Action Rifle. It holds five shots and uses Sniper Rifle Ammunition.
interestingly the rifle as depicted in game has a straight bolt handle, which would seem to make it unable to cycle with the scope attached, also the use of stripper clips would, in reality, not be able to be used
an anarchistic feature of the Carcano's scope is it has a duplex style reticle, most scopes produced in the day were wire cross hairs, in other words the reticle should have looked much like the Remington Rolling blocks scope reticle
Sharps 1874 Long Range
Called the 'Buffalo Rifle' in-game. It is the most powerful rifle in the game (hence the name) and can be purchased after getting Rank 5 in the Master Hunter challenges. The weapon reloads pretty fast (like John Quigley fast) and only fires one shot at a time. When used from cover there is an annoying glitch where John will reload while exposed to gunfire rather than loading another shot while in cover. It uses Rifle Ammunition.
Shotguns
Side-by-Side Shotgun Model 1878
This weapon can be bought in Armadillo Gunsmith.
Sawed Off Shotgun
Can be bought in Thieves' Landing Gunsmith.
Browning Auto-5
The Browning Auto-5 shotgun , called the "Semi-auto Shotgun" in-game, holds 5 rounds and can be bought from the Gunsmith at Escalera for $1000 after completing "We Shall Be Together in Paradise" and unlocking access to Mexico.
Winchester Model 1897
You get it in the mission "And the Truth Will Set You Free",used by a thug.
A gold version exists in multiplayer.
Others
Gatling Gun
Has unlimited ammunition. It is first used in the mission "The Assault on Fort Mercer".
Cannon
Found mostly in multiplayer.
Maxim 1895
Incorectly called the "Browning Gun" in-game, it is used mounted on a prototype armored truck in the mission "And You Will Know The Truth" and damaged at the end of the mission when the armored truck tips over. Dutch van der Linde uses one at his fort in Cochinay against John Marston and the U.S. Army in the mission "And The Truth Will Set You Free".
