Repeater Carbine

"This is a fine weapon."

- John Marston, inspecting the Repeater Carbine.

The  is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Description
the is a short-barreled, repeating rifle, designed by Christopher Spencer to be operated on horseback. This weapon is significantly outdated by the era of Redemption, but is still effective at dispatching enemies at a distance, or hunting small game, due to the large caliber round. It is a very useful weapon when pursuing bounty targets that are needed to turn in alive. A single round in the chest or abdomen area can severely wound most enemies.

This weapon has the least powerful shot, after the Cattleman Revolver. In multiplayer, it takes 5 shots in the torso to kill another player, so headshot are the only thing that kills them.

This weapon is very good for hunting smaller game, such as rabbits or raccoons, and and some larger game, such as deer or buck. However, the Repeater Carbine is easily bested in general effectiveness, both in hunting and combat, once the player obtains the Winchester Repeater as it has better damage, range, and ammo capacity.

The uses Repeater Ammo.

Single Player

 * The gun is given to the player by Bonnie MacFarlane during the mission "New Friends, Old Problems".

Undead Nightmare

 * The player acquires it after cleansing the graveyard in Blackwater for the mission "Curious Tales from Blackwater, USA".

Multiplayer

 * The is unlocked upon reaching rank 2 and is the weakest rifle in the game.

Trivia

 * Although the Repeater can shoot on longer ranges, it's not especially effective. Arguably, the best scenario to use the repeater, is on a one-on-one shootout on medium range. Most likely it's a safer bet than using your sidearm, and a more surefire way to get a headshot.
 * This is one of the golden weapons (the other being the Cattleman Revolver) included in the Pre-order bonuses. It can also be obtained by purchasing the limited edition, which contains a code for all three pre-order bonuses.
 * The Repeater Carbine is based on the Spencer carbine, which was used extensively by Union cavalry in the Civil War.
 * The power and range of the Repeater Carbine is vastly underpowered for it being able to fire .56-56 rounds. In fact, the .56-56 Spencer is significantly more powerful than the .44-40 WCF (Winchester Repeater), .44 Henry (Henry Repeater), and .44 Evans short (Evans Repeater).
 * The in-game model is very much like the Owl Rifle from Red Dead Revolver.
 * The, seen up close when wielded by both Marston and Jack, accurately uses a lever action mechanic to extract the used shell and feed a new cartridge from the tube, and requires the hammer to be cocked in a separate action.
