Trivia
- The Carbine Repeater is based upon a real weapon, the Spencer Model 1865 Carbine. The weapon is one of the improved variations from the Model 1860 Carbine, which was used during the Civil War in the first half of the 1860s. The Spencer Model 1865 weapon was produced in two different models, one directly by Spencer and the second under license by Ambrose Burnside, who is also known for the design of the Burnside Carabine, another American Civil War weapon. The Spencer model comes with a shorter "20 barrel in .50 Caliber as well as a Stabler magazine cut-off device that allows the weapon to be used as a single shot rifle when fully loaded.
- It is the most common longarm used by NPCs and gang members.
