All credits for the model goes to Ecler and for the texture to JonnyManson, all the credits for the script go to SgtJoe, all the credit for putting the mod together, editing the model to work in rdr2 and doing the annoying part goes to me.
BTW: My pal André's hometown got hit by a flood and he lost his pc, his bass and a bunch of his personal items. He made a gogetfunding page for his pc so if you have some bucks to spare head there and donate please : André's funding page

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 281 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Semi-automatic fire gives you a modern edge in gunfights.
- Simple replacement means no complex install—just drop it in.
⚠️ Cons
- Replaces the elephant rifle, so you lose that weapon unless you install another mod.
- Requires an additional mod (1899 Firearm) to get the elephant rifle back, adding extra setup.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter weapon stats or the elephant rifle.
For RDR2 players who want to bring modern firepower into the Wild West and don't mind losing the elephant rifle temporarily. If you're a purist who wants to keep the game's historical feel, this isn't for you. It's a fun, arcade-style addition for those who enjoy overpowered weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install the 1899 Firearm mod first, or you'll permanently lose the elephant rifle.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the weapon in-game to ensure it fits your playstyle.
- Check your load order to avoid conflicts with other weapon replacement mods.
