Carcano Rifle

Carcano Rifle is a one of the rare weapons available in Red Dead Redemption. It is the service rifle of the Italian Army, a weapon that would have actually been quite rare in the American West and is a symbol of changing times, morals and ideals.



Description
It performs in a similar manner to the Rolling Block rifle, however, it holds 5 rounds in a magazine and so has a far faster rate of fire and reload time. In multiplayer, it does less damage than the Rolling Block rifle against players, as it can only perform a one-shot-kill with a headshot, and the Rolling Block can kill with a single shot to the body. Bullets travel at a faster velocity than the Rolling Block, meaning that the shots won't need to be anticipated as much, resulting in the bullet hitting the moving target more effectively.

The uses Sniper Rifle Ammo.
