Check out the upper handguard on the sniper rifle in Bioshock: Infinite. Clearly that of a Kar98k, not a Springfield 1903. Additionally, the rear sights match that of the Kar98k. There are no discernible features on the sniper that resemble a 1903, other than the generic-looking buttstock. (Just to mention:) The front sights are enfield-style, which is odd.

Shotgun Reload Error?
Can someone tell if the Shotgun has it's shells loaded into the barrel, instead of the magazine, it seems like so to me? I think watching the actual 15-minute demo will be better than looking at images: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBwKO4RFOU
Go to 9:12 into the video and there are two reloadings in a row.
Edit: Forgot to sign my post, sorry.--Z008MJ 06:28, 6 February 2012 (CST)
- No, I think he is putting them in the tube. On a Model 1887 the loading port is immediately beneath the chamber and accessed through the ejection port (as seen here, he puts the first two in the tube and last one in the chamber). Can't make it out that clearly, but he seems to be pushing the shells quite deep into the action, rather than into the barrel which is at the top. --commando552 08:32, 6 February 2012 (CST)
Thanks, i checked again and notice i mistook the beginning of the barrel for a shell being inserted into it. He reloads rather fast. Although you are correct, he pushes them too deep for the barrel. Thanks a lot, you made my year, it would have been bugging me forever otherwise.--Z008MJ 10:02, 6 February 2012 (CST)
I'm not sure if that IS a Colt Navy. In a OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) article, not sure which issue it was, on the game, it looks like there was a lever-action thing on the grip of the gun. So it might not be the Colt Navy. User:SeanWolf
I just looked through several images of it and found nothing that looked like a lever-action mechanism. Besides, it isn't handled like one either, but instead as a typical revolver. And no lever-action pistols had cylinders. Can you find your specific image? Z008MJ 12:57, 24 May 2012 (CDT)
Here's the link to the pic -> [1] <- It does look lie there is a lever on it
![[1]](http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u11/rivalscover_final_cmyk.jpg){kind=link}
I admit it does resemble that, but it is hard to tell, it could be a custom extended trigger grip. After all, he doesn't perform a lever-action upon shooting. Also, it looks like it could be attached to the stock, which means you couldn't move it. Besides, that is not an in-game image, and shouldn't count anyway, unless it was an entirely different weapon. I think we need more images to judge properly, or you will have to wait for someone better than me to give an opinion of it.--Z008MJ 07:25, 25 May 2012 (CDT)
Peppermill Gatling Gun
I was watching the trailer for the motorized patriot, and one of the guys mentions that it carries a Gatling gun called the peppermill, which Booker can apparently pick up and use as a heavy weapon after destroying a patriot. He also says that the only way to get the peppermill is from a destroyed patriot. Is there anyone who could provide screencaps of this gun? -Desertrat17
Beast of America Trailer.
I am rather pleased with seeing the guns in this one, lots of detail have been added to the weapons. I'll summarize what i've noticed so far.
The Mauser C96 has a cartridge visible in the chamber upon ejecting spent ones, proper hammer movements added. The Shotgun's hammer visibly changes, still unsure if it strikes forward, hard to see in such a short clip. The Submachine Gun now ejects spent cartridges upon firing, it clearly did not do so before. And the Semi-Automatic Rifle is seen without Scope, maybe a hint at weapon upgrading.--Z008MJ
Unknown Gun
I'm looking at the gun closely and it seems to resemble the Paddywacker/Colt 1851. I compared the two guns and the barrel on the unknown one looks similar to the 1851. SeanWolf
SKS?
Saw this during the "False Shepherd" trailer. It looks like the SKS but has one really odd attachment to it (I'm guessing it's either a Silencer or a barrel extender) User:SeanWolf
Walkthroughs Up
Release is tomorrow, but walkthroughs are up on YouTube. Looks like the turret guns use a water cooled machine gun. The design is really generic and all silver, so it doesn't look like any specific model. Chitoryu12 (talk) 18:32, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
I thought the turrets looked a lot like the Vickers Machine Gun, though i haven't taken the time to examinate closely. Z008MJ (talk) 08:43, 29 March 2013 (EDT)
Anachronistic?
Because this game seems to take place in an alternate universe, should any of the guns like the M1 Carbine like rifle be even considered anachronistic? Excalibur01 (talk) 23:35, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
- They're intentionally anachronistic. The game is full of unusual bits, especially music from 50-70 years in the future (like "Personal Jesus" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun") being written earlier than they really were. It's all one huge alternate universe mashup, made worse by the constant tears in the fabric of reality changing things at random or causing people and objects to transport to different dimensions. So I would include simply a note at the start of the page mentioning that many of the firearms are anachronistic or "incorrectly portrayed", but that it's an alternate universe and thus not actually an error by the developers. Chitoryu12 (talk) 03:13, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
- Reading the updated article, I find the tone frankly a bit much. The weapons are constantly listed with "incorrect" or "useless" features, which seems pointless as the weapons are fictional guns only based on real weapons. Saying that the Paddywhacker's top-break mechanism is "incorrect" is meaningless when it's just a magnum-level revolver that looks like a Colt 1851. Chitoryu12 (talk) 00:59, 5 April 2013 (EDT)
- It's incorrect because the combination of features make no sense in terms of how the weapon is actually shown operating. The loading lever / extractor rod on the Paddywhacker has no function because of the frame that renders it inaccessible. The top-break mechanism is incorrect for a Colt 1851, that's a straightforward fact. Pulling the 'it's fictional which means it doesn't have to make any sense' card is pretty silly. Evil Tim (talk) 11:44, 10 April 2013 (EDT)
- The point is that it's NOT a Colt 1851, though. It's not meant to be a Colt 1851, merely to look like it. The designers intentionally made it "wrong" because it's not SUPPOSED to be that particular revolver, just taking its design cues. The game takes place in an alternate universe, so anything goes as long as it doesn't do something impossible by the standards of that universe. Just like the Broadsider is a Broadsider, not a Mauser C96. It looks identical to the Mauser C96 of our universe, but it's not the same gun. That's the whole point of calling it an alternate universe. You may as well criticize the Rolsten Reciprocating Repeater for not really existing in our world.

"Founder Carbine"
So I snapped a picture of the Carbine's world model. Definitely a garand derivative. My gut wants to say it's an M1 carbine, and the page says it's an M14. The magazine doesn't seem to look big enough to be 7.62x51mm and it looks too big to be .30 carbine. Also features an ambidextrous charging handle. Part of the reload animation shows a round in the chamber, so I'll try and grab a screenshot of that next time I play. Might help with identification, I guess. After I finish my first playthrough, I'll go through and snap pictures of all the weapons if anyone hasn't done so already. I have everything maxed so everything will look all pretty. Nikonov (talk) 10:52, 28 March 2013 (EDT)
- I'd say M1 carbine as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:55, 28 March 2013 (EDT)
- Definitely agree after taking a closer look. It's easiest at the beginning of the fair when you have all the carnival games you can play. There's a guy using a carbine at one of the shooting galleries, and you can see its size and the magazine size compared to the man holding it.
Sniper Rifle = Kar98k, not 1903 Springfield
Check out the upper handguard on the sniper rifle in Bioshock: Infinite. Clearly that of a Kar98k, not a Springfield 1903. Additionally, the rear sights match that of the Kar98k. There are no discernible features on the sniper that resemble a 1903, other than the generic-looking buttstock. (Just to mention:) The front sights are enfield-style, which is odd. EDIT: I've changed the page to represent this.
