History VideoGame / GUN

* FormerRegimePersonnel: [=MacGruder=] and Clay Allison were both members of the Confederate Army during the Civil War. [[ShownTheirWork Incidentally, the real Clay Allison did fight for the Confederacy]]. Interestingly, [=MacGruder=] has Sergeant Hollister and his men in his employ as muscle, who are all former Union soldiers StillWearingTheOldColors.

* Josiah Reed well and truly earned Cole's hatred by initiating the attack that kills Cole's adoptive father Ned (though Hollister may or may not have personally killed him) and later killed [[spoiler:Jenny]], a [[spoiler:prostitute]] Cole was fond of.
* Magruder naturally becomes this to Cole after he tries to have Cole framed and hanged for [[spoilerJenny's murder]]. It becomes even more personal for Cole once he learns that Magruder killed [[spoiler:Cole's birth parents]], though Magruder later shooting off two of Cole's friend Soapy's fingers also didn't help.

''GUN'' was a MultiPlatform release for UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} and {{PC}}. It also got an UpdatedRerelease on [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] as ''Gun: Showdown''.

* CoolGuns: The game has a wide variety of Old West era firearms ranging from the usual Colt Single Action Army/Winchester Rifle/Double Barreled Shotgun load out to weapons which were common in real life but appear less often in fiction, such as the Colt 1851 Navy and Schofield revolvers all the way to rare guns such as the Ferguson Rifle and the Nock Gun. The Ferguson Rifle deserves a special mention, as its coolness is commented on a couple of times.

* GutturalGrowler: Both Colton and Ned have rowdy, husky voices that go hand-in-hand with them being mountain men.

** "Reverend" Josiah Reed has one badass-looking horse. [[BraggingRightsReward You get it as a bonus for finishing the game]].

* WalkingArmory: Not as big an offender as some examples, but by the final mission Colton is carrying: [[GunsAkimbo 2 Colt .45 Peacemakers]], [[{{BFG}} Ned's .69 caliber Ferguson]], [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter a Double-Barrel Colt Shotgun]], [[ColdSniper a Remington Sharpshooter]], an Apache bow (with [[TrickArrow Dynamite Arrows!]]), a [[CoolSword Calvary Sword]], and six [[KillItWithFire Whiskey Bombs]] and [[StuffBlowingUp Dynamite sticks]] each.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Ned is actually not Cole's father, but has raised him in an attempt to atone for accidentally getting his real parents, along with a Native American tribe, who were killed by Magruder after Ned led him straight to them.]]

''GUN'' is WideOpenSandbox {{Western}} ThirdPersonShooter developed by Neversoft and published by Creator/{{Activision}} in 2005.

* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed: Empire seems to be standing in for Las Vegas, New Mexico, [[NamesTheSame not to be confused]] with the other [[VivaLasVegas Las Vegas]], which is probably why the city has been renamed.
