Since some of you guys were actually able upload mods for the Remington Model 1858 Revolver and the Hawken Rifle, along with those modern weapons, I was wondering if any of you could create a mod for the Merwin Hulbert Revolver.  See I think it deserves a place in RDR2 and RDO for two reasons.  One, it was that kind of gun that inspired the Widowmaker in "Red Dead Revolver."  Two, in spite of the fact that it became one of the forgotten firearms of the Old West, it was actually quite popular during its time.  As a matter of fact it was just as popular as the revolvers that were made by Colt, Remington, and Smith & Wesson.  Here's a list of most of the many historical figures who owned Merwin Hulberts; Wyatt Earp, Bass Reeves, Jesse James, Calamity Jane, Pat Garrett, Bob and Grat Dalton, John Wesley Hardin, Sam Bass, Poncho Villa, Judge Isaac Parker, Bud Ledbetter, Ned Christie, Pearl Hart, Bass Outlaw, Granville Stuart, Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, and others.  The revolver you see in the picture above is a Merwin Hulbert Frontier 3rd Model Single Action Revolver.  Merwin, Hulbert, and Co. made both single actions and double actions with grips like the one in the picture, and with more lethal ones called "Skullcrushers".  If you wish to see a picture of one with a "Skullcrusher" grip or pictures of the double actions, please say so in a comment.  You know, now that I think about it, a pair of Merwin Hulbert Revolvers would have been more fitting weapons for Hosea Matthews, also it would've been a great weapon for Slim Grant and Esteban Cortez.  Anyway, I wasn't sure whether or not you guys knew how these guns work so I added a couple of links to some videos that will show you.  The first is part of a collection of videos on YouTube known as "Forgotten Weapons" and in it there's this guy who shows different models of the Merwin Hulbert and explains the history as well as how to load it and unload it.  The second is a short video on RecoilTV of a person demonstrating how it works with actual ammunition.  In case you guys are thinking about just watching the latter, I advise you to watch the other one first because it's best to know all the details before seeing such a weapon in action:

Now this is just the first weapon mod request, for I have plenty of others including a mounted gun.  Coming up next is another repeater rifle.
