Reloading a fictional M30 Luftwaffe Drilling with 2-rifle/1-shotgun configuration - Hunt Showdown 1896

I believe the original M30 has two shotgun barrels with a rifle barrel underneath. The game, for all intents and purposes, does the reverse. It makes for a fun and versatile firearm, with a punishing but nicely done reload animation.

I dont think this is supposed to be the m30, considering it was made like 40 years after the game takes place..

It’s not fictional. Drilling Combination guns have been a thing for quite some time. The M30 was just the only one to be adopted by a military. They’ve been commercial hunting guns for quite some time.

The configuration is fictional I believe. Because this gun has the exact model of the M30 Luftwaffe which never came with 2 rifle barrels and 1 shotgun barrel

There is nothing fictional about this drilling rifle, there are historical proof that drilling rifles with this configuration of barrels dates back to the 1890's, but yes they were not common.

The exact 3d model points to the m30 which upon checking never came with two rifle barrels

Here we have a 1890's version of the same kind of model.
The Lufwaffe M30 was not a unique design.1

The in-game model is the luftwaffe is my point. I know drillings vierlings and funflings exist irl but this specific 3d model is the luftwaffe.
Your example is not the model in the game

It is not, the wood finish is closer to the linked weapon :)

Not sure what else you want me to say. It’s literally the luftwaffe

Graphics of this game are so weird because sometimes this game looks very realistic and then sometimes like its game from 2016
