Talk:Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

more to come, got errands, finish when im back-k9870

Good job on this. Only problem I have is that you misspelled anachronisms many times

LeMat Revolver

I understand that the underbarrel on the real-life LeMat fired a shotgun shell. In both Call of Juarez games, the LeMat fires a rifle round instead. Is this an error or were LeMats able to fire a rifle round? - User:1morey February 26, 2011 11:44 AM (EST)

As far as i´m aware there were different kinds of loads for the LeMats lower barrel, such as pure buckshot, a combo of shot and slug, and a solid slug shaped like a bullet, but rifle rounds no, its a 20 gauge as far as i remember. I`ve seen a detailed article about a vintage LeMat being tested and the shotgun was far from ideal to be used any farther away than 10 feet, so they probably just used rifle rounds in the game to make it realistic that it can fire that far.

Non-Firearm weapons

Bow

A bow is used exclusively by Thomas, and a primary weapon for the Comanche, Navajo, and Apache Indians. Strangely the Bow also has different stages of conditions. "Rusty" (The Bow is rotted and the point is rusting), "Normal", "Prime" (The Bow has markings on it), and Superb (The Bow has a dark mahogany finish with the markings).

Lasso

A lasso is again, exclusive to Thomas.

Throwing Knives

Throwing knifes with leather tied around the handles are usable by Thomas.

Chair

Chairs can be picked up and used as melee weapon, primarily in Chapter IX (The player uses a chair to kill a soldier, since the player is left without weapons, but immediately regains them afterwards).

Ranger and Classic Gun

I am also a member of the Call of Juarez Wiki, and the admins are leaning towards the idea that the Ranger is based on a Colt Army 1860. I believe that it is the Colt Dragoon. Is there any distinguishing characteristics that would properly identify this gun.

Also with the Classic Gun, it states it is a Remington 1890, the admins are thinking it is the Colt SAA, they claim that the Classic Gun looks more like a Colt SAA, and also they claim they could not find anything on the Remington 1890.

So can we get someone to properly identify these handguns once and for all.

EDIT: The Classic Gun HAS to be a Colt SAA, the game files identify the gun as "peacemaker". -User:1morey April 26, 2011 7:51 PM (EST)

Load up the Editor and have a closer look at the weapon model, specifically the ejector rod housing. Whatever the game calls it, its definately modeled after a Remington 1890.

EDIT: Here's what i mean, the Bound in Blood Classic gun model on the left, Call of Juarez 1 version on the right.

Make sure to sign your posts so we know who we are talking to. Anyways, I agree with you wholeheartedly that it is a Remington 1890, but the Admins at the CoJ Wiki are still clinging to the Classic Gun to being a Colt SAA, and they also say the Ranger is actually the Colt Walker from the first game. here is what they said:

"Nice picture 11Morey, but no. The gun is a Colt Single Action Army, proved by the fact of the game files listing the Peacemaker, another name for the SAA. I agree in the fact it looks more like a Remington 1890, perhaps it was bad research on Techland's part (althoguh later SAA's looked just like Remington 1890s) but the gun is a Colt Single Action Army revolver, and I think it's time we moved on from this subject. I checked the sound files just to be certain, as I've played BiB so much I know what each gun sounds like, nothing is out of order here.

The Classic gun, is a Colt SAA. If you don't believe me then look at Call of Juarez and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood pc versions' game files with WinRAR or another program that can open up ZIP and similar files.

I have a new revelation on the Ranger topic, which will also close the ID issue there as well. The Ranger in Bound in Blood is not teh 1860, not the Dragoon, it is none other than our old friend... The Colt Walker, it is the same gun in both games, I never checked the game files for the Ranger before, I checked both CoJ and BiB, so we have confirmation, both are the Colt Walker."

This is exactly what they said. I've tried everything to show them they made a mistake, and I don't blame them, everybody, even the guys here at IMFDB make mistakes, and I don't want to start something, but me and my love for all things that go bang tell me to correct their mistakes. So if you can make an account (Unless you already have a Wiki account (IMFDB won't work), it would be appreciated. - User:1morey May 2, 2011 9:38 PM (EST).
