Carcano Rifle

The  is one of the rare weapons available in Red Dead Redemption. It was the service rifle of the Italian Army, a weapon that would have 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. The Carcano Rifle's 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. It is quite useful for hunting Deer, Elk and Grizzly Bears.

Tips and Tricks

 * The Carcano is a mediocre rifle to use when first initiating combat with gangs of outlaws occupying Gang Hideouts. It indeed has 5 rounds, however, it has less accuracy when compared to the Rolling Block Rifle. The Rolling Block Rifle only has 1 round, yet can be used to pick off targets from up to 500 yards away in-game.
 * When engaging multiple enemies at medium range, it can be helpful to switch between the Carcano Rifle and a weapon with auto-aim to quickly acquire targets.
 * While aiming in the direction of enemies, a white ray appears around the scope to indicate where the enemy is.
 * You can fire all five rounds of the Carcano Rifle before having to exit Dead Eye. This is useful in Bounty Hunter missions when you want to capture the outlaw alive; simply get into a good sniper position and kill the horses.

Trivia

 * The real-world Carcano holds 6 rounds as opposed to the 5 in game.
 * Often, in both Single and Multiplayer game modes, the Carcano Rifle will register a greatly inaccurate shot if the crosshairs are not on target; the bullet appears to drop if the shot would not have directly resulted in a kill.

Bugs
