Outlaws
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
Outlaws is a 1997 Western-themed videogame released by Lucasarts.
The following weapons appear in the video game Outlaws:
Remington 1875
Marshal James Anderson (voiced by Jeff Osterhage) uses what appears to be a Remington 1875 as his primary weapon. It was his father's gun, and his daughter Sara (voiced by Kath Soucie) also uses it at one point. It features an inaccurate anachronistic swing-out cylinder (one that swings out to the right no less, much like on the Mle 1892 Revolver). While the year the game is set in is never given, Anderson was a kid when he inherited it and was a Marshal 10 years prior to the game's start but it's still the Old West so its appearance in flashbacks is likely entirely anachronistic. It should be noted that in some cutscenes, the gun is incorrectly depicted with a loading lever latch akin to those found on percussion revolvers. It is referred to as the ".45 pistol" in the game manual, implying that it's chambered in .45 Colt, which a very small number of original Remington 1875s were (and it was possible to convert the ones chambered in .44 Remington to .45 Colt as well).

Smith & Wesson Single Action 2nd Model
Matthew "Dr. Death" Jackson (John de Lancie) carries this little gun. It is only briefly seen as Anderson shoots it out of his hand and into a crevice. It is not usable in the main game. In multiplayer, Dr. Death is shown with the Smith & Wesson in hand in his character select animation. He also spawns with a specially customized revolver in-hand that differs from the Remington 1875 used by most of the other multiplayer characters. However, the gun he spawns with in multiplayer appears to be of similar size and shape to the standard in-game revolver (much larger than the Smith & Wesson actually would be), and is incorrectly depicted with a 6 round capacity, the Smith & Wesson 2nd Model only having a 5 shot cylinder in reality. It would appear that the only difference is the weapon's skin, and that functionally it is the same as the basic in-game revolver. It is also depicted with an incorrect swing-out cylinder as opposed to the Smith & Wesson's top-break design.
Allen & Thurber Pepperbox
"Bloody" Mary Nash (Dorothy Blass) carries a custom engraved, gold-plated Allen & Thurber Pepperbox. Specifically, it appears to be based on the longer-barreled "Dragoon" variant of the Allen & Thurber. While the gun is never shown in a cutscene, it stands out in Bloody Mary's hand in gameplay. It is also useable in multiplayer when playing as Bloody Mary, being one of only two multiplayer characters (the other being Dr. Death) with a custom weapon skin. Much like every other revolver in-game, the Allen & Thurber is incorrectly depicted with a swing-out cylinder....or, in this case, swing-out barrel cluster.

Henry 1860
"Slim" Sam Fulton (Cam Clarke) is shown with what appears to be a rare iron frame Henry 1860 just as he receives his mortal wound from Anderson. It is not usable in the game.
Winchester Rifle
Never seen clearly in cutscenes, the usable rifle in-game appears to be a Winchester Model 1866 as it appears to have a brass frame in the gameplay view (though it does appear to have lines and features more akin to the Winchester Model 1873). The strategy guide refers to it as the ".44 Henry rifle", but the reloading animation depicts a loading gate (albeit on the wrong side of the frame) making it in reality a Winchester as the Henry rifle loaded from the front of the magazine tube. The rifle can also be equipped with an optional scope in-game for long range shooting, and in fact is one of the first—if not the first—such occurrence of "sniper zoom" in a video game. It should also be noted that in multiplayer matches when playing as a character other than James, the loading gate will switch over to the correct side of the Winchester's frame (all the other characters being right-handed, as opposed to James, who is depicted as left-handed and thus having special reload animations).

Single-Shot Shotgun
The first of three shotguns available for use in the game is the single-shot shotgun. It appears to resemble many basic break-over, single-shot shotguns that have existed from the Old West era to today, though nailing down the exact make and model isn't possible really due to the lack of detail thanks to the fact that the shotgun only appears in gameplay and never during a cutscene. The official strategy guide refers to it as a "Remington Single 10 Gauge Shotgun", implying that it was supposedly based on a model manufactured by Remington.
Double-Barreled Shotgun
Sawed-Off Double-Barreled Shotgun
The sawed-off double-barreled shotgun is another of three shotgun choices available to the player in the game, and is arguably the most devastating, being capable of taking out multiple enemies at once, especially if the play fires both barrels simultaneously and the bad guys are close together. The sawed-off is also the preferred weapon of "Buckshot Bill" Morgan (Beau Billingslea), who carries a pair of them.
