Even though the Mondragon was officially adopted as the standard rifle, there weren't enough issued to equip the entire Mexican Army. A more accurate choice would have been a bolt-action Mauser. I thought it bizarre that the game includes a Carcano and a rifle based on the Krag instead of a Mauser or Springfield. As for semi-autos included in the game, a Mondragon would be cool, but in my opinion there should have been a Remington Model 8 or Winchester 1907. Since the Browning shotgun was included, I thought for sure there would be a semi-auto rifle as well. No luck, but maybe in the next game? Still, the weapons choices for RDR prove to me that a reasonable amount of research was done. If Treyarch made this game it would full of Steyr AUGS and SPAS-12s :)--[[User:Phillb36|Phillb36]] 18:09, 24 December 2010 (UTC) | Even though the Mondragon was officially adopted as the standard rifle, there weren't enough issued to equip the entire Mexican Army.

Well the two games seem closer than it seem, the mission in mexico it's a black ops, seriously yeah. I don't know who first had the idea but since there was a Nico Bellic lookalike in Modern warfare, and and Billy Grey lookalike in Black Ops, they certainly stole that from an other Rockstar's production, and my first thought about the Hipower was "oh maybe a 1911 prototype". | Well the two games seem closer than it seem, the mission in mexico it's a black ops, seriously yeah.

But the Black ops are portrayed very differently, in Black Ops it's Cia agents with custom and anachronistic gun(they could use the time machine , to I dont know, change the vietnam to win , they picked up new weapons for relose again), Red dead the governement threats someone, and gets him to Mexico, with a mission about one of his friend -inofficially dispose of the local dictator- and he has to find weapons and help by himself. | But the Black ops are portrayed very differently, in Black Ops it's Cia agents with custom and anachronistic gun(they could use the time machine , to I dont know, change the vietnam to win , they picked up new weapons for relose again), Red dead the governement threats someone, and gets him to Mexico, with a mission about one of his friend -inofficially dispose of the local dictator- and he has to find weapons and help by himself. | ||

Holy patron saint of awesome there's a fucking C96 in the game. I dont care about historical innacuracies, Im glad they finally put this gun in another game. Plus I've been wanting to see it in another western setting since Joe Kidd. Plus I can get all...Lawrence of arabia-y...anyone agree?--ConditionNone 08:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Its not inaccurate, the game takes place in 1908.
Wrong the game takes place in 1911. First C96 was released in 1899
And now I know. AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!--ConditionNone 08:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Well played sir.
Il Grande Silenzio (aka The Great Silence) also features C96 used by the main character in deadly effect. Brilliant movie, you should see it.--AlkoTanko 12:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Will do. Now, if somebody would just make a game where I could use a webley other than Bioshock/Darksector. And a mauser. AT THE SAME TIME WOAH!!!--ConditionNone 18:54, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
This page's format
Nice work so far. I look forward to seeing the page's creators fix the minor page layout errors. i.e. don't put a LINK to the gun page. Write an original paragraph about who uses the gun and how it appears in the game and hyperlink the gun NAME to the gun page. Remember to check the rules & standards, the titles in the sections are never hyperlinked, only the name of the gun in the written section describing the usage in the game. Also every image should have THUMB in the wiki line with a size designator and the IMFDB page standard descriptors in the gun image and the screenshot. Any insightful summaries about the game and it's back story would also be nice. good job. MoviePropMaster2008 06:24, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I wasn't planning on adding details about each weapon until after the game is released, and more info is available, also, this is my first try at editing a wiki. (Wematanye)
How come there's no 1887 shotguns. They'd make more sense than an Auto-5 or a pump-action. Browing designed the lever-action specifically for frontiersmen. (Hughjefender)
Mannlicher M95 or Carcano 38?
The rifle which is currently called the "Mannlicher 1895" seems to be rather a Carcano 38 which can be seen at the front barrel band. Lookt it up on surplusrifle or google. The Austrian Mannlicher 95 has a different band. Furthermore, but I am not 100% sure about this, the Austrians did not shorten the M95s before WWI. So no matter which rifle it is it is anachronistic in all cases, but it really looks like a Carcano 38. Greetings from Franconia. Paul_Baeumer
Hi it's me again. I just saw that the rifle was positively identified as a Carcano by a recently added screenshot, showing the characteristic magazine which distinguishes the Italian Mannlicher Carcano from the Austrian Steyr Mannlicher M95. Thus the Mannlicher 95 could be removed from the "Needs positive Identification" section. Greetings from Franconia. Paul_Baeumer 19 April 2010
Colt M1911
- I was on the Red Dead Redemption wiki the other day and the good ole 1911 was listed as a usable weapon-S&Wshooter 05:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Well the game is set in 1911 (From what I've been told) so could it possible? Hoot471 09:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- The game is actually set in 1908 from what I've heard. Chris_Hun7er 17:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
The red dead wiki has a number of weapons that are unconfirmed. They are either just hopeful or mistaken, confusing the Bordchart for a Luger and the Colt 1903/1908 for a 1911
I have also heard it being set in 1911 BeardedHoplite 02:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Where did you hear that? all official statements I have heard say 1908.
I couldn't specifically tell you, but I believe it was from a few gaming sites (Games Radar, IGN, Game Informer etc.) BeardedHoplite 17:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I had heard the game took place in 1908, which wouldn't make the 1911 appropriate...however who's to say all of the games events take place in the year 1908...esspecially since they talk about the mexican revolution being apart of the game which happened in 1911
- Well it would make the 1911 very inappropriate actually. And the game doesn't actually contain the revolution proper, but rather the events leading up to the revolution. That being said I highly doubt the 1911 would be in the same game when the 1903/1908 is already confirmed. Mercer 04:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I'se reading the Playstation Store description of the game and it says that the game takes place in 1911.--74.177.189.181 16:06, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Maybe it goes from 1908 to 1911? BeardedHoplite 02:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Well we'll all find out tomorrow children. Mercer 04:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
It's official, no 1911, no luger, no colt walker, no colt navy, no springfield 1903, no winchester 1887, or anything else people have claimed to see in the game or heard from someone. All small arms have already been identified. Mercer 19:20, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Just for reference, the games does take place in 1911, it's on the back of the box BeardedHoplite 00:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
But the map in the actual game says 1910 on it.
Yeah, but that could just mean you have a year old map.--74.177.136.12 20:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
It's definitely set in 1911. If you look at (SPOILERS)John's tombstone, you'll see he died in 1911. (END SPOILERS) However, it is possible that the game starts in 1910, but transitions to 1911 at some point. Acora 01:44, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
The game goes from 1908-1914. It starts in 1908, John dies in 1911, and then you start playing as Jack in 1914.--TheDon 19:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Merged Carcano Rifle
Just a heads up, I moved the image in "Carcano Rifle Scoped" to "Carcano Rifle" and deleted the "Carcano Rifle Scoped" section. Chris_Hun7er 5:50, 10 May 2010
Krag/body
I know this doesn't really have anything to do with the actual rifle, but does the second Krag-Jorgensen screen shot show a naked person hanging from the ceiling?--ColonelTomb 00:01, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
It certainly does. And according to some early reviews there is much worse to be found in the game. Mercer 23:31, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Do you mean in terms of brutality or of nudity?--ColonelTomb 00:01, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Both from the sound of itMercer 00:49, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hurrah for gratuitous violence!-S&Wshooter 02:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, if that's the scene I believe it is, if you inspect the dead body after the cutscene you can see that his genitals have been cut off. Lovely. Acora 01:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Colt New Service/Colt New Army
has it been positively identified yet?
Changed the protection level on this page
Now you must log in as a user to edit. It keeps all the anonymous kids from undoing all your hard work :) MPM2008 (a mod)
Um glock?
why is there a pic of an animated glock on page?
- Anonymous User 72.82.219.161 put it on the page, perhaps not realizing that Example.jpg linked to a different image. ANYWAY, that's one reason why I BLOCKED anonymous users from editing this page. Dumb stuff like that. It has been fixed. MoviePropMaster2008 22:48, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Thoughts?
So Now that RDR has hit the streets, what do you guys think of it? I bought it thinking it would be fun, but nothing more than GTA IV in the West. Boy was I ever wrong! This has so much more to offer, and is one of the best games to come out in recent years. The combat is exciting and fun, the graphics are stunning, the story is awesome, and the sound effects are pure western! Just picking up an old Krag or SAA and capping some Mexican rebels or gang members if a hoot. The Multiplayer will keep you playing after the epic story is completed, and I think this is a game everybody should pick up. Besides minor glitches, it's perfect, 10 out of 10!M14fanboy
The funny part is that the glitches actually added to the fun (for me at least). Seeing flying deer or riding an invisible horse is simply gold BeardedHoplite 22:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I love the game. Granted, the story isn't the greatest, but it's still an amazing game, especially in terms of gameplay. If they made a sequel, I would certainly buy it. Acora 01:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Maxim
According to rockstar social club (lists in-depth analysis of kills and such) its labeled as a Browning, which is quite possible considering that a water cooled m1919 did exist, and it looked similar. 74.163.238.134 00:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually it's a Browning M1917, my bad. 74.163.238.134 22:26, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
anyone going to change it?184.32.172.173 17:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- Either way, it's anachronistic, since the game is set in 1911. Acora 01:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Who changed it back? Most of the game is anachronistic. It's a Browning not a Maxim...98.64.227.225
Quigley
Who is John Quigley? Do you perhaps mean Matthew Quigley from Quigley Down Under or is that a different person? humanzie3
Probably the name Quigley is a small cameo. --FIVETWOSEVEN 01:18, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
No, humazie3 is right, it is actually supposed to be Matthew Quigley from Quigley Down Under. The character Quigley uses a Sharps rifle. --1morey
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96 in-game is NOT fully automatic, just semi (as the "Savvy merchant caption" picture already states). Please change that. --85.3.141.99 17:28, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- In single player it's fully automatic. 184.32.172.173 17:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
In Multiplayer it is still full-auto, its just REALLY slow BeardedHoplite 03:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
The pistol isn't anachronistic, either, considering that the game is set in 1911 and the first C96 was released in 1899.
Golden Guns
If any of youse guys have golden guns, screencap them and upload them. I only have the Borchart and the New Service. I'll get the borchart up later today BeardedHoplite 14:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
High Power Pistol
Just read on another site. They claim that the high power is actually the FN 1903 NOT the Colt 1903. Kinda makes sense figure I'll leave it up to someone else to make sure.
Its definatly the FN 1903, Look at the slide lenght. I'm no good at this so can someone else please change it for me? --FIVETWOSEVEN 01:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
LeMat loading
Hold up, if the LeMat is not a break-top revolver, how does it load?
- It's a percussion revolver, so it loads by packing the front of the cylinders. Look at the frame by frame shots of a LeMat being loaded in this film: The Quick and the Dead. - Gunmaster45
- There were actually pinfire and centerfire versions that loaded via gate like a Colt SAA. There's a picture of the centerfire version uploaded on this site. - Nyles
Needs Positive Identification
Unknown Revolver
I noticed a nickel finished revolver on one screencap, that could be the Schofield but looks somewhat different: [1] Any ideas?
![[1]](http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1738/reddeadredemptionplayst.jpg){kind=link}
It could be the Colt New Service swing out revolver with a nickel finish
That's just the way the enemy guns look, makes it easier to spot when you go to pick up ammunition. They make the Winchesters look like '66 "Yellow Boys" because of that effect. -Cole Thorton
Yeah, Cole is right. It looks like it has a nickel finish, but all enemy guns look that way. Hell, the SAA looks chromed half the time. Acora 01:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
heh
If you read closely, you'll find out that the scope reticle on the carcano is anarchist;
- "An anarchistic feature of the Carcano's scope is it has a duplex style reticle, as most scopes produced in the day were wire cross hairs"
Krags & Henrys instead of Mondragons?
The game is awesome but why would the Mexican Army be using Krag rifles and Henrys when they already adopted the Mondragon M1908 that is semi-automatic and fires the 7x57mm Mauser Rounds? It just seems strange to have these rifles being used when a more modern one is available.
Eh, it's what Rockstar did, they probably either didn't know or didn't care. Can't really blame them. BeardedHoplite 04:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
I forgot about the Mondragons that were around at the time. But as stated above, Rockstar most likely didn't do their research, I mean they made the C96 a full auto handgun and got that FN pistol instead of a 1911 Excalibur01 06:42, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, just these little inaccuracies seem to make a difference, fire rate and power for instance :)-CZAR-
Even though the Mondragon was officially adopted as the standard rifle, there weren't enough issued to equip the entire Mexican Army. A more accurate choice would have been a bolt-action Mauser. I thought it bizarre that the game includes a Carcano and a rifle based on the Krag instead of a Mauser or Springfield. As for semi-autos included in the game, a Mondragon would be cool, but in my opinion there should have been a Remington Model 8 or Winchester 1907. Since the Browning shotgun was included, I thought for sure there would be a semi-auto rifle as well. No luck, but maybe in the next game? Still, the weapons choices for RDR prove to me that a reasonable amount of research was done. If Treyarch made this game it would full of Steyr AUGS and SPAS-12s :)--Phillb36 18:09, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Well the two games seem closer than it seem, the mission in mexico it's a black ops, seriously yeah. I don't know who first had the idea but since there was a Nico Bellic lookalike in Modern warfare, and and Billy Grey lookalike in Black Ops, they certainly stole that from an other Rockstar's production, and my first thought about the Hipower was "oh maybe a 1911 prototype" (the game could have got a colt 1911, but the map says 1910 so maybe it takes place in 1910 at the beggining before passing at 1911).
But the Black ops are portrayed very differently, in Black Ops it's Cia agents with custom and anachronistic gun(they could use the time machine , to I dont know, change the vietnam to win , they picked up new weapons for relose again), Red dead the governement threats someone, and gets him to Mexico, with a mission about one of his friend -inofficially dispose of the local dictator- and he has to find weapons and help by himself.
And talking about Vietnam war, treyarch forgot the ride of Walkyrie for the chopper scene why? At least if they put Never gonna give you up that's could be cool (anachronistic but cool), but none of the above. At least Blizzard's staff saw Apocalypse now by quoting "I like Napalm smell in the morning" (and yes they work independantly from Activision so Activision Blizzard logo has no sense)
