The Peppergun is a revolver used in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and Call of Juarez. It is based off the Victor Collete Pepperbox Revolver.
Mechanics[]
The pepperbox experienced a "resurrection" in the late 19th century as a short, easily concealable pocketweapon that used pinfire cartridges. A special variation of this kind of handgun, in which the shortness of the barrel cluster was fully utilized, is the French "Apache Revolver". This weapon, allegedly popular among Paris street gangs, was fitted with a folding blade and knuckle-duster. The pepperboxes from this period disappeared with the demise of the pinfire cartridge.
The Christian Sharps 4-barrel derringer as another pepperbox that survived into the late 19th century. Like contemporary pistols including the Colt Thuer and 2-barrel Remington, it had a sheath trigger that appeared when the hammer was cocked. Cartridges were loaded into this 4-shot gun by sliding the barrels forward. It first appeared in 1859 and was used by many soldiers during the Civil War, remaining in production until 1874. After the war it became popular in the Old West among lawmen, outlaws and gamblers as its small size allowed it to be concealed in a waistcoat pocket.
There is only one pepperbox that was ever taken into consideration for use by an army. This is the Swedish five-barrel made by Feilitzen. In the late 19th century many British officers used the privately-purchased 4-barrel Lancaster Pistol in preference to the standard-issue Beaumont-Adams and Webley Revolvers it had greater stopping power, a faster rate of fire and was quicker to reolad. This break-action pepperbox, available in calibers as large as .476 (with even a double barrel version in caliber .577 available) worked in a similar way to the Sharps Pocket Pistol: its striker, not the barrels, revolved.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood[]
It is called the Peppergun and is an average strength handgun, best utilized at close range combat. Like the
Ladies Pistol, the Peppergun has significantly reduced accuracy compared to other pistols, due to the lack of a proper barrel. The bayonet at the end is purely cosmetic, as the game does not feature a melee attack. Despite the gun is missing any sort of trigger guard, Ray/Thomas is able to flip it over their fingers after a succesful duel. In the multiplayer it's used by the Gunsmith, together with a Hybrid Gun.
