Talk:Red Dead Redemption

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.

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)

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)

Colt New Service/Colt New Army

has it been positively identified yet?
