We had the chance to shoot a few rounds through this U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle in .45-70.
It kicks a bit and puts out some smoke, and it's fun to shoot a rifle that is over 100 years old.

  • @softaapje As fun a video game as Red Dead Redemption is, if they are going to completely make up weapon stats then they should completely make up weapon names to go with them.

    Really there was a leap straight from single-shot, to 8-5 round capacity repeating rifles, there were none of higher power with just a 4-shot capacity. Game balance or historical accuracy, I think they could have made a better choice.

  • bem antiguado

  • canhoto hehehe

  • I love all the springfields :)

  • no to start a argument but trailboss powder would work good in that good as it would replicate BP specs. and would not go over the pressures of the original loadings

  • no argument over clip or magazine on this model.

  • nice gun man

    

  • Thumbs up if you love this weapon:)

  • @lewisgunner1 The Ferguson musket and the US 1819 Hall were two examples of what youre talking about. They were not plagued by poor innovatiness of the people of that time, but rather dumbasses who didnt see the advantage of being able to load a wider bullet from the rear of the barrel and getting better velocities in that fashion.
