What other weapons would you like to see?

[Kean_1]

Nice.....

Yeah, I think the Canadians adopted them early on for some of the same reasons (reliable in cold weather)?

The only rifle I want now in my safe is an M1A1 and I'll be happy. 

[The_Liquor]

I can’t say the same... I’m a bit of a gun hoarder. I’m not sure I’ll be happy even if I filled a whole museum LOL.

Wasn't trying to rain in your parade but simply pointing out that a good portion of jbohos' list that you critiqued wasn't just wishful thinking.

God willing we get em then ey?

oh, and this was written in 1814 I believe, I doubt that hey would have mentioned rockets if they weren’t used in the bombardment...

 

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

That bit of the song is talking about the battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, and yes, the British were using Congreve rockets, which have little practical value other than terrifying horses (from direct experience).

Nice rifle, by the way.  I quite fancy a Zulu War era Martini Henry (both in RL and RDO), which would be entirely in keeping with with the game timeline, but essentially not much different in form or function to the Springfield, so probably superfluous.

Well, I didn’t say rockets of the time were effective... just that they existed lol. Yeah, many of the rifles and arms would really just be reskins of what we already have really... but I say throw them in anyway.

I'd like to see the Murata, Henry martini, Mosin, Webley MK1, Mauser and a Revolver Carbine

[The_Liquor]

I can’t help but think of the double deuce episode of archer....

Woodhouse: Give him a Webley...

Archer: What the hell is a Webley... *THUMP*

Yes, it’s a good list of interesting weapons of the day. Maybe I’d add a MAS 1873 French revolver... I don’t know why, but I just like those things...

Mauser Broomhandle as a longarm carbine variant. The accuracy is a big reason why I don't use the Double action or the semi automatic pistols. Give better accuracy and I might use it lol.

[The_Liquor]

Can be carried n the knife slot... low power, range, accuracy etc... good for one (or more depending on the model) shots at near point blank range, or as a surprise during hand to hand...

Cap and Ball!. Now while I understand that this is a game after all and the reload times will be fast as they already are for the overall enjoyment of the game, I'm cool with this, we have to have gunpowder effects from these revolvers. I want lots of smoke!. 

Colt 1851 Navy .36 caliber 

Griswold and Gunnison .36 caliber 

Colt 1860 Army .44 caliber

Technically, the LeMatte is a cap and ball.... 

[NF85]

Revolver carbine.

Either a normal one or the carbine version of the LeMat.

 

The Colt Buntline could allso be a fun thing to see in the game, but i dont know if it could be practical.

It would likely be called the  Cattleman Butt-Mine or something In RDR, but here... The goofiest revolver ever made for those that never seen one...

[SixGunLover76]

A slightly longer barrel option for the semi and pump would be nice.  But only if it was actually available in that era of history.  The rabbit ear double barrel looks good.  The semi and pump sorta look a little short.  But that's just my opinion.  

Any gun that was used during that time period would be cool.  Make them as close to the real gun as possible and let the players pick and choose.  The camp foot locker can hold the unused equipment until they set up the pawn shops to sell the unwanted.

[NF85]

Hmm was thinking, could european wepons have made it to the u.s?

If so, the Webley revolver could be a thing as there is no self extracting revolvers in the game and the Webley mk1 was adopted in the timeframe that this game is set to.

The Mauser pistol is in the game, and it was made by (you guessed it) Mauser in Germany. Granted, it had a few years but there are definitely new European firearms in the game.

Like Kean said, the Schofield is on a hinge and it is break action, self ejecting.

[James Hickok_1837]

I was thinking about that for a while now and would love to see weapons like a new bow with scope, maybe a crossbow. BUT what i would really like to have are meele weapons : fist knuckles, leather belt , crowbar, shovel, some kind of Acid, sabre.      I would piss my pants laughing if i had those to use.       

About the guns - nothing will top the Bolt action rifle and dual Mausers at the moment - are there any rifles from that time that would be better?

Not sure that crossbows with scopes were a thing back at that point, but i'm down for the shovel and sabre

Ahhhh....  That too.  I was already well in my teens by the time it came out.

[dIV4r]

I want the one that is circled. I don't know what it is but it looks like a classic noob tube with a short nose. 

[NF85]

they are weapons too old for this game as they belong in the flintlock era.

and they are called Hand Mortars btw, they was used to to launch small grenades.

It's been said before, but... a chair.

When I'm having a fight in Valentine saloon, I want to be able to hit someone with a chair.

Is that too much to ask?

Other firearms in this era:

Mosin Nagant- 7.62x54r 

Lee Enfield

Mauser rifle

Skoda MG

edit: 1911

A P90!

We're probably not getting one of those, though. I think the weapons we have are pretty good already. Rather than a new weapon, I'd prefer it if they added a bit of customisation to the bow actually.
