Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez is a 2006 western first person shooter set in Texas and Juarez, Mexico in 1884. The story revolves around seventeen year old William "Billy Candle" Mendoza (Who's surname is revealed in Bound in Blood), who is on the run from his step-uncle Reverend Ray McCall. In 2009 a prequel Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood was released which followed the adventures of Ray McCall and his brother Thomas. A third game titled Call of Juarez: The Cartel was released July 19th, 2011.

The following guns are seen in the game Call of Juarez:

(See the Discussion page for non-gun weapons.)

Conditions

As in Bound in Blood, Call of Juarez has condition levels for most weapons. They can be found "Rusty" which on the weapons selection bar has a red lightning bolt, "Normal", "Prime" which have a silver star and the guns are engraved, and Superb which has a gold star, and more intricate engraving. Also, the lower the condition of the gun, and the more it is used cause the gun to heat up with the box glowing red, and with continuing use, the gun will explode in the player's hands causing them to drop it. The Prime and Superb weapons are "Rare Weapons" and are tied to the Gun Collector Achievement on the Xbox 360.

Colt Walker

Dubbed the "Ranger", the Colt Walker revolver is the second most powerful handgun in the game, but the downside is the slow reload speed. It appears to have been converted to fire cartridges, instead of being a cap and ball revolver. It is mainly used by Juarez' gang of banditos, and appears anachronistically as standard issue to soldiers guarding a train (They should instead be using the Colt SAA).

Colt Single Action Army

Dubbed the "1889 Classic Six Shooter", the Single Action Army revolver has a fast reload but is relatively weak. It is used by most enemies.

Colt 1878 Double Action

Called the "Border Gun" the Colt 1878 Double Action has a medium reload speed and is also very weak. It is the first gun that Reverend Ray starts with. It is also another main sidearm for enemies.

Victor Collete Pepperbox

Called the "Six-Barreled Gun", the Victor Collete Pepperbox is very uncommon and isn't used by enemies. It is also somewhat powerful unlike it's real-life counterpart, due to it using rifle ammo.

Volcanic Repeater

Dubbed the "Volcano Gun", the Volcanic Repeater is the most powerful pistol in-game. It holds 8 rounds and kills most enemies in one shot. This is Juarez' main sidearm.

Smith & Wesson Schofield

Dubbed the "Quickshooter", the Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver, has medium damage, but an extremely fast reload speed and fire rate. It is also seen in use by enemies. Reverend Ray McCall starts out most levels beginning with Episode V with two Schofield revolvers.

French Le' Mat

The LeMat Revolver appears in the game, dubbed the "Hybrid Gun". It is the third most powerful handgun in the game (vastly different to Bound in Blood's Hybrid Gun). The shotgun is usable, but it uses rifle ammo. It is Tom Manson's sidearm, but he is never seen using it, although it is presumed he uses it to mortally wound Molly Ferguson's father, and to kill Thomas McCall.

Remington Derringer

Dubbed the "Ladies Gun", the Remington 1866 Derringer is first seen when Billy Candle sneaks into Suzy's room in Forrester's Grand Saloon. It has a high fire rate, but low damage and only holds two bullets.

Winchester Model 1892

Dubbed the "Classic Rifle", the Winchester Model 1892 is a powerful rifle, and is useful in any situation, although slightly anachronistic. A more accurate choice would have been the Winchester Model 1873 or Model 1876. The Classic Rifle also has a scoped version dubbed the "Scoped Classic Rifle". It is seen in use by several enemies and appears to be the main firearm used by the Apache renegades.

Colt Model 1878 Double-barreled Shotgun

Dubbed the "Double Barreled Shotgun" this is a very powerful weapon. A sawed off version is available dubbed the "Sawed Off Double Barreled Shotgun". The sawed off shotgun can be wielded with another sidearm, but NPCs will hold it with both hands.

Gatling Gun

A Gatling Gun with a drum magazine is used in various missions and in the Bonus Missions.

Cannon

A cannon appears in Episode XIV in Juarez' Alcazar. Interestingly it faces towards the Mansion where coincidentally Ray uses it to blow the doors open.
