Wow, this looks just like the gun ads in Red Dead Redemption 2. Wonder if ads like these were the inspiration?

It’s a style of print that is typically used to give the impression of any typical “wild west” ad. I doubt that ads from the 1960’s were used as inspiration, but anything is possible.

Will freely admit I’m pretty ignorant around gun culture, there are some shooting clubs in the UK but it’s not a common pastime here. Though I did go to a range last time I visited USA, it was a blast (heh). Shot a .22, a glock, and an absolute beast dirty Harry magnum thing. Heck of a kick. “Group your shots”, fucker I’m not grouping shit with this kickback!

Cool. There is a culture that accepts guns in the US and then there is the “gun culture” of 'murica rednecks and idiots. I know what you meant, but I just felt compelled to make a distinction. ;)

While it seems that recoil is affecting your shot, it isn’t. The recoil doesn’t start to affect the position of the gun noticably until a bit after the bullet has actually left the barrel. It’s the person who is shooting that gets tense and starts to over-compensate after the first shot. (Physics absolutely does apply and recoil does happen the second the bullet begins to move. However, time is a huge factor in how and when it changes the position of the barrel. F=ma still applies and people forget that a is a function of time.)

Maybe. Or maybe they’re both based on ads of that time period?

Interestingly, the Browning A5 came out in 1905 so it fits the RDR2 timeframe.

If I remember correctly the books in the RDR2 stores are direct reference of the old Sears catalogs.
