A rapid-fire revolver that packs a punch

Henry Repeater
This repeater is powerful, but with less ammo in the magazine

It is located in the northwest corner of Mexico and you will find it in the “Poppycock“Strange mission or follow along with Red Dead ReplayYouTube video. You don’t have to completely clear the hideout during the mission, but it’s easier to do so during the mission than to go back and do it later.

Evans repeater
If 12 bullets in your magazine weren’t enough, try 22
Although the Evans Repeater lags behind the Henry in terms of power, its higher ammo and rate of fire make it more fun. Since guns in the old west weren’t exactly the high-powered automatic machines we’re used to in modern games, 22 bullets in the magazine is quite impressive.

Semi-automatic shotgun
They can’t hit you if they’re minced meat
Red Dead Redemption It’s full of precise weapons that fire one shot at a time, but sometimes you need something a little less subtle.

Buffalo rifle
Just a single shot, but this gun makes it worth it
Ammo economy and large magazines were mentioned several times as factors that make a gun great. The Buffalo Rifle completely subverts this with just one bullet in the magazine.

LeMat revolver
The top of the line revolver at the top of the list
The LeMat Revolver outperforms every other revolver in the game for a few reasons, the biggest being how impressive its stopping power is for a weapon of its size. It holds nine rounds, and those three extra shots make a difference compared to a typical six-shot cannon. Plus, it’s strong enough to eliminate wild animals that might threaten you with just a few shots.
Although the LeMat is the crown jewel in any gunslinger’s collection, it will lighten your wallet a little. You can purchase the weapon from the Escalera Gunsmith for $1,250. Its high discounted Honor and Savvy Merchant prices are $625 and $313 each.
