Mowing Them Down

Mowing Them Down is a gameplay achievement and trophy in Red Dead Redemption.

Description
The official description of the achievement is: "Kill 500 enemies with a mounted weapon in any game mode."

Guide
Mounted weapons confirmed to be included in this achievement are the Gatling Gun, Maxim Gun, and Cannon.

This achievement can only be earned by getting 500 kills in multiplayer, or 500 kills in single player. The two do not overlap.

You do not use mounted guns too often in the story so either redo missions or die and restart them to use a mounted gun again if you want this achievement/trophy without having to do it by free roam.

Tips and Tricks
-The best way to get this is in El Presidio on the main road cannon in free roam private server. It helps to have a second person asist you to watch one of the two gates into the fort. Otherwise the Mexican army will flood in the open spot and require the player to get off the gun to kill them.

-The other way is to again go to El Presidio. Beside the main gate (the one blown up in the story mission) is a gattling gun. It is much easier if the doors are closed, and it is advised that this is done on Private Free Roam.

-Another useful method is to utalize the Co-op mission "The Escape". After the second checkpoint up a small hill are two sets of cannons which can be used to kill a large group of enemies and mounted gunners. Rinse and repeat this method for exp with team mates and while aquiring gold medals on coop.

Hint
If you have completed all of the story missions, there is a defensible location in El Matadero.
