The following weapons appear in Red Dead Redemption II
Overview
Like the eighth generation versions of Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption II has both first-person and third-person modes that can be switched at the press of a key. This page will ideally cover both first-person and third-person views of weapons.
Handguns
Borchardt C-93
The Borchardt C-93 is returned from the first game as the "Semi-Auto-Pistol".
The Colt New Army & Navy is confirmed to be returning from the previous game and can be unlocked for early use upon the game's release by completing a series of tasks in GTA Online.
Colt Single Action Army
Various characters can be seen using Single Action Army revolvers. Early in the game (Chapter 2) if you do the Stranger side mission "The Nobelist Men, and Woman" you have a chance at collecting three unique versions of the Colt that come with various increased stats.
Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3
The Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 revolver appears as the "Schofield Revolver". Dutch owns a pair of these revolvers as his personal firearms.
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96 returns from the previous game. Unlike in Red Dead Redemption 1 the gun is correctly depicted as a semi-auto only version rather than an anachronistic machine-pistol. By doing the Stranger quest "The Noblest Men, and Woman" you can get a gold plated version of this gun off the body of Billy Midnight. The standard version does unlock until much later in the game.
U. S. Johnson Model 1836
A low modeled U. S. Johnson Model 1836 is seen in the mission of Jeremiah Compson.
Volcanic Repeater
The Volcanic Repeater returns also from the previous game.
Rifles
Carcano M91/38
The anachronistic Carcano M91/38 Short Rifle returns from the previous game instead of an accurate M91 Long Rifle. It is only available with a mounted scope.
Henry 1860
Arthur Morgan is seen with a Henry 1860 lever action rifle. It appears as the "Litchfield Repeater" and is depicted with an enlarged lever loop.
Krag-Jørgensen Rifle
A hybrid Krag-Jørgensen of a US and Danish variant appears as the "Bolt-Action-Rifle" and is the weapon of choice of Bill Williamson in promotional materials. The weapon is unlocked, for use by the player, in Chapter 3. Unlike in Red Dead Redemption 1 Arthur Morgan reloads five rounds quickly into the breach instead of using a stripper clip.
Remington Rolling Block
The Remington Rolling Block Sporting Rifle returns as the "Rolling Block Rifle".
Sharps 1874 Buffalo
When your tent is upgraded an unusable rusty Sharps 1874 Buffalo rifle with spike bayonet can be seen.
Spencer Model 1860 Carbine
Arthur can be seen with a Spencer Model 1860 Carbine slung across his back. Sadie Adler is also seen using one. It appears as the "Carbine Repeater", inverted from its designation in Red Dead Redemption. An interesting feature for this rifle; to make up for it's slow fire rate the weapon is reloaded with whole tube magazines. Rather than Red Dead Redempption 1's strange breach reload animation.
Springfield Trapdoor 1873
The 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle appears in the game as the "Springfield Rifle". Unlike the previous game, the Springfield is now the full-length rifle and correctly holds a single round instead of four.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
The Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" appears as the "Lancaster Repeater". This is a rather odd choice as by 1899, Winchester rifles like the Model 1873, 1892, and 1895 would have been more widespread.
Winchester Model 1890
The Winchester Model 1890 appears as the "Varmint Rifle".
Shotguns
Browning Auto-5
The Browning Auto-5 returns from the previous game. The Auto-5 is technically anachronistic as the game is set in 1899; though John Moses Browning began designing the shotgun in 1898, production officially began in 1902.
Double Barrel Shotgun
A man is seen with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. Arthur Morgan is seen using one in a gameplay video.
Sawed-Off Shotgun
Charles Smith can be seen with an Sawed-Off Shotgun. Unlike the first game, it has the exposed hammers.
Winchester Model 1887
The Winchester Model 1887 appears as the "Repeating Shotgun".
Winchester Model 1897
John Marston can be seen holding what appears to be a Winchester Model 1897.
Machine Guns
Maxim 1895
Replacing the previous game's anachronistic Browning M1917, the far more period-appropriate Maxim 1895 has been seen in various trailers.
Other
Bow
Arthur Morgan can be seen using a bow.
Model 1841 6-Pdr Smoothbore Field Gun
Several destroyed Model 1841 6-Pdr Smoothbore Field Guns can be seen on the former battlefield of Scarlett Meadows.
Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon
On Guarma island Arthur can use a Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon to sink a Cuban armored ship.
Hotchkiss Mountain Gun
Several Hotchkiss Mountain Guns can be seen on Guarma island.
