LeMat Revolver

No stats published for this weapon.

• ◆The real life LeMat was a cap and ball percussion revolver, but in the game it is depicted as a break-top revolver using traditional cartridge ammunition. While certain cartridge conversions of the LeMat technically exist in reality, they did not see production until long after the game is set.
• ◆Despite firing metallic cartridges, the cylinder's model still presents percussion nipples like the original cap and ball LeMats. This inaccuracy was solved in the subsequent game's version.
• ◆The LeMat pattern revolver also featured a 16-gauge (on some models) smoothbore barrel beneath the main barrel that could fire a single charge of birdshot or buckshot. While this second barrel is modeled visually on the weapon in Red Dead Redemption, it is unusable.
• ◆Right after reloading, the hammer is left in the uncocked position until the first shot is fired. After this, the hammer becomes cocked and will be cocked back for the remainder of the rounds in the cylinder or until the next reload. This odd occurrence affects all firearms with a visible hammer in single and multiplayer.
• ◆This is the only revolver in the game that can hold nine rounds, instead of the typical six. This is accurate to the real weapon, which is one of the few revolvers with a nine-round capacity.
• ◆The LeMat Revolver is John's weapon of choice in The Man from Blackwater.
