Cattleman Revolver -The Cattleman Revolver is based on the Colt Single Action Army. I think this Is a pistol that would realistically be used at the time, no need for replacements.
Double Action Revolver -This one is the Colt M1892, and while it makes sense to be in the game, it was quite underpowered compared to other competing revolvers. So, if you went by which revolver should be in the game based on game balance, then is should be the Colt New Service, which came in calibers that rifles used at the time. But keeping the Colt M1892 and maybe buffing just slightly would be fine too.
Schofield Revolver -I don’t have a problem with the presence of the Smith & Wesson Model 3 revolver, however, the fact that the Schofield deals more damage than the Cattleman whilst the Cattleman reloads faster is ridiculous. The whole point of the S&W Model 3 revolver was that is was quick to reload, and the Colt Single Action Army used the .45 Colt, which could kill a horse. My solution for the Schofield and Cattleman is to switch each ones damage with the other, and the reload speed.
LeMat Revolver -The LeMat Revolver was made in the 1850s-60s for the Confederate Army, and stopped being produced in 1865, it was pretty rare to see one in the 1890s. My choice for a replacement of the LeMat Revolver would be the Colt 1851 Navy Pistol.
Volcanic Pistol -The Volcanic Pistol makes no sense, it was made in 1855 and ended production in 1856, it was weak and not popular, my replacement for the Volcanic pistol is the Remington Model 95 Derringer . It was on the weaker side, like the volcanic pistol, but it could be hidden inside your shirt for say, missions where you couldn’t bring guns with you or something.
Semi-Automatic Pistol -This one is based off of the Borchardt C93, and while at first I doubted that any would make their way into America, there is a picture of a Native Indian with a Borchardt, so I will give it’s presence in the game a pass, so the only problem with the Semi is the fact that it’s handle isn’t straight up and down.
Mauser -I’m fine with this one, but I do with they included the wooden stock that doubles as a holster.
1899 Pistol –This one is pretty new for the time, it’s not completely unrealistic, but it could also be replaced with the the Bergmann 1894/96, or it could be replaced by the Bergmann-Bayard pistol, and made only available in the epilogue.
The Carbine Repeater should be replaced by the Winchester Model 1873, because the Spencer Carbine was very old.
The Lancaster was based on the Winchester 1866, that gun is too old, it should be replaced by the Winchester Model 1894.
The Litchfield Repeater, based on the Henry Rifle, was even older than the Winchester 1866, it should be replaced by another high power rifle, the Winchester 1895
The Springfield Rifle should be replaced by the Sharps Rifle, because the Springfield was not as popular.
The Rolling Block, based on the Remington Rolling Block, is fine.
The Carcano Rifle, this choice was even more insane than the Henry Rifles inclusion. the real Carcano model that the game includes was first made in the 1930s. Instead of that, I propose The Mauser 1893 or 1895. Because not only were those guns actually period accurate, but Mauser was a much well more known company,
And finally, the shotguns. I do not have a problem with any of the options included in the game except the Semi Auto Shotgun, this one was first made in 1902, so the simple solution is to make it epilogue only.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope you enjoyed me geeking out about a bunch of antique guns. If you have any suggestions of other guns that could have been added to the game, than please let me know in the comments.
