What makes the Lemat Carbine so great? 

How are you feeling about the Lemat Carbine? 🙂 As of Update 1.12, the firerate is a little higher and the sights are fixed.

I liked the original LeMat. FMJ was already pretty dope, decently good with fanning as well, and the shotgun is useful for very aggressive door entries. The Carbine pushes all of it higher [sans fanning of course], and is one of the most versatile guns in the game. It's one of the few instances where you can pick up a melee secondary and not be in "meme loadout" territory.

Alot of people like to slam slugs in it and its a total bop with slugs but my favorite thing is treating the base shotgun part like an emergency "Aw nah" button when I get pushed or am pushing. Also people really like walking into it if you're low even in low six stars because they think "Its just compact ammo"

You forgot to mention that when you use Starshell, its effectiveness is roughly twice that which you would get normally due to the sheer intimidation factor

I think it's best paired with a hand crossbow for a traitless build. You have the panic one hit kill at close range with the crossbow if you whiff the underbarrel shot. Slap half poison and 2 concertina bombs and you can do a bit of everything. Or in teams use half chokebolts and that will free you space to bring wombo combo traps to the fight. You've got some fun options there.

The answer is frogs

it is definitely not just you with the forgetting to switch fire modes; I have scattered so much buckshot across open plains since I got this gun that it'd make Genghis khan proud

I like to bring LeMat carbine FMJ and the new army with FMJ, unless I have fanning than it's another LeMat FMJ

I haven't put a lot of time in on the Carbine yet, but I can easily see it becoming my favourite compact ammo primary weapon. Having a button I can mindlessly click while walking around will keep my ADD satisfied.

i am also really enjoying the Lemat Carbine for when I just don't want to deal with picking traits and stuff. Just Lemat Carbine + Lemat Pistol and I'm ready to go. Also the skin from the battle pass is just soooo nice

Actually , imagine LMK Carabine + dual LMK pistols

that was the sweetest subscription proposal i've ever heard

love these weapon review videos a lot keep it up man

Appreciate your writing and sense of humor, great guide as always!

So the kind of humor you have is absolutley the best about your videos. Nice work, im proud to hve you as my steamfriend

"No intimacy required" but.... we.... can still have a little intimacy.... I mean a smooch here and there wouldn't be that bad.... Right?

As always informative, helpful, entertaining and to the point! :-D

New army and dum dum is a new favorite ❤ amazing video ..your vids are smack'in 😂 i forgot to like the last vids i watched cause they were so good i got too into it and instantly clicked the next in the Chanel

my and my friends just came back to hunt after along hiatus and this lemat carbine is my fav gun now its so fun and i alway bring a lemat pistol as my secondary when i run it

I like the lemat in general for the same reason i like the bomb lance custom ammo. Sure for straight damage, there's better alternatives, but you'd be suprised just what a little bonus utility can do for you in a fight. And yes i like the starshell. Its all fun and games until its a night map and you have unlimited flares thanks to quartermaster and the carbine with dual pistols.

The only thing I really struggle to recommend the carbine for is medium-long to long range. It has the same drawbacks as the Winfield without the phenomenal front post for head tapping.

i just like the perfect shot sound and then the headshot sound its just the greatest combo for me

I could have sworn something about the gun was off! Glad to hear I have not gone mad (yet), felt like I was whiffing shots that should have connected.

Just discovered your channel today, yet you've convinced me that I would, in fact, like to grow old together with you.

Home coming in clutch with the review 📣

I can't wait for the third lemat video.

It's quickly become my main weapon. I tend to use incendiary ammo because you pretty much rely on headshots for kills, and if the target is jumping around at a distance it takes like 4 shots to kill, so you might as well set them on fire while you're at it. I've had situations where they panic enough to allow a killshot by myself or my friends. Also the utility of barrel kills. It also doesn't slow down your already slow velocity like FMJ does either. I've been using a sparks pistol with half poison ammo for maximum annoyance, half regular for wallbangs. 15 seconds of no healing and being at potentially 1 health makes switching to the LeMat effective at any range if you're fast enough on the switch. And vice versa, if you hit them with incendiary, the small amount of char prevents healing to max, which can then allow the sparks pistol to one shot. I've been having a lot of fun with this combo. I hate to admit, but I've gotten used to the misaligned sights. It's kinda nice to put their head on top of the little flat area without obscuring it and just know it'll headshot. I'll feel conflicted when they fix it.

Started using the carbine in conjunction with the new baseball bat for a budget loadout, and it's amazing. With FMJ, it's extremely versatile at any range for an insanely low price. I've been able to absolutely eviscerate teams with fresh hunters, and it takes me from broke to ballin' in 1-2 matches.

That gun alone makes me interested in playing this game tbh. Always wanted to play around with it somewhere.

Three LeMats Carbine + Dualy sidearms put into shotgun mode loaded with buckshot At long ranges use the Carbine. If someone sneaks up on you, panic-firing the pistol underbarrels can net you can aim punch people long enough for you to get your bearings and sometimes even land a lucky insta-kill. If you need to switch to medium range swap to the normal bullets! LeMat pistol underbarrels are also good for popping beetles, or finishing off a mid-range enemy whose just been tapped by any of the single-shot rifles! I call that strategy Duck Hunting :D

Something about this weapon just feels nice too. I picked it up for the first time and everything felt so smooth and accurate. Maybe I was doing better, or my internet wasn’t as bad, idk, but this gun has consistently felt just pleasant to use compared to some competing weapons.

Got to play with you for a round of random trios the other day, didnt want to fangirl and was gonna tell you to keep up what you're doing when we extracted but sadly we didnt make it lol. Weird game where we banished the Butcher uncontested at lower desalle and then ran all the way north just to die from the other bounty. Anyways, keep up with what you're doing, love the vids. Love Hunt Showdown and even though it's a "small" community it's always great to see different hunt-tubers in the bayou every once in a while

The incendiary ammo is great for ranged combat on small ammo. Hit them twice and they burn. Time to rotate, reload etc.

I like the idea of it but once I end up in a gunfight with it I wish I had gone for the good ol' Winnie instead, they both have very similar engagement ranges but I feel so much more comfortable with Winnie + high velo

Man this is really cool, so with all this attention they’ll add the shotgun parts stats to the menu right? Right?

2:08 "Bookie, did you see that?" "I didn't ;-;" To be fair Bookie, Home didn't see neither

whenever a hunter starts with quartermaster, if he doesnt have any other gun-specific trait I go with the full lemat (carbine plus two pistols) equipment +FMJ+slugs. Decent at long range, really nasty in close range and indoors. Plenty of ammo to allways push and be aggresive. The carbine is not a head clicker but close to it, and the two leMat pistols with a full 18 fmj load are pretty effective at mid range and indoor fights.

That subscription plug was incredible. I would subscribe again if I could for that.

Intrestingly, the "missaligning" of iron sights, is how sport competetive shooters have their pistols and ironsights setup! So thats helpfull for me, i dont have to swap from shooting range mode to gaming mode!

What I love about this thing- is that it's the best weapon to bring if you also like to use the sword in Hunt.

That hannah montana reference... Hell yeah, brother!!

Batman Begins and Dark Knight Rises out here catching strays

I like to use the Lemat Carbine when I play a new hunter with little perks. Because like you said in the video: You don't need perks for this weapon.

Thank you for the Great Tipps😊🫡

2 in 1 but BIG

Bring both, you can use the "Don't talk to me or my son ever again!" Meme.

I really love the LeMat Carbine and really only bought the pass for the skin, because, i am truly in love with Obituary, and i've also noticed the misalignment in the crosshair, hope they fix it!

I haven't been able to play Hunt: Showdown for quite some time (😭) so i can't try this out myself. But i just thought about this. If the LeMat Carbine offers utility, why not lean into that further and pair it with a hand crossbow (half regular, half poison). Adds a second option, for if you missed your shotgun shot or have to deal with two enemy hunters. And gives you very decent PvE weapon.

Came for the Homie, stayed for the sass.

Looking forward to the third movie!

Me and my friends use it with a bow with double concertina arrows. We like to camp inside compounds and barricade ourselves in spamming concertinas everywhere.

what gun is Home's friend shooting in the last 2-3 seconds of this video? It sounds nice

But first we push the like button.

Biggest issue i have with the lemat carbine is the effective range is QUITE low alongside the muzzle velocity is veeeery slow, so sure you can up the effective range a bit with FMJ but that makes the muzzle velocity worse when youre struggling for muzzle velocity already. But fix that and i'd absolutely love this gun in its entirety

I've only ever encountered the Lemat Carbine in 2 ways. First is getting snap headshot'ed in a compound while crouched. The second is on a dead hunter. I very rarely see it and its mostly on the ground, covered in mud and blood.

i really love the LeMat Carbine Tier 3 pose, it looks great on some of the ladies y'know

My favorite loadout right now is LeMat Carbine and LeMat pistol, both with FMJ and slugs, and Fanning. 😈

We have the uppermat, a third is necessary.

Lemat is one of those guns you have to love

Hey, then the Nagant M1895 regular video? Is this gun even worth it?

finally, I love this gun

If I have quartermaster, I go Lemat carbine with two Caldwell chain pistols. I don't do that running out of ammo thing.

I think 42k subs for a hunt showdown youtuber is still really impressive when considering the fanbase isn't that large. Anyway, I genuinely enjoy your video, sir. Keep it up!

And now, a third movie is indeed necessary. Uppermat When?

Sick video! Something I'm still wondering is: what are the practical differences between Dragonsbreath and Starshell? In PvE, it seems like it's mostly range, since both "burn through" enemies as far as I can tell, but maybe one is much more effective than the other and I'm out of the loop; on top of this, Dragonsbreath might have the edge by still giving you a usable shotgun in PvP. That's what I'm getting anyway but I haven't had much chance to try the gun out yet.

There's also the fun benefit of being able to 1 tap people if the die and lose a big health bar.

I’m sure you have got this a bunch already. But the Batman trilogy reference is very funny now the Uppermat is in the game. So… uppermat video coming soon?

My Favorit Weapon in the Game❤️

No mention of pairing a New Army for extra FMJ & close range capability?

always appreciate game snot being 1-to-1 with the weapons the take inspiration from. if the lemat (at least the pistol version) was exactly like it's irl counterpart nobody would use it in this, rdr2, and any other game that has it. chain firing is a bitch

Great vid as always. Inb4 this channel lasts longer than the game.

no no i forget to swap off shotgun too sometimes

Consider the manager talked too... 😆

Oops, we need a trilogy. Uppermat and marksman carbine

Hahahaha as soon as I saw his stance the first time I thought that all that was missing was a little two snap criss cross move and it would be at its ultimate power. Hahaha

Ahh, the best hunt showdown youtuber posts again

4:40 but…..what if I want the intimacy?

shit is the best gun in the game i never lose with this thing

Intimacy

been interesting going from OliveMeister, who dislikes this gun, to HomeReel who seems to like it

Crytec mind to fix grip on this gun, so hunter don't get 3rd degree burns on his left forearm every single shot?

Lmfaoooo that intro

Love the carbine, but I'm having an issue where it will not unlock past the carbine, apparently for some it's bugged. Hopefully they fix it soon

I was super hyped for the lemat carbine, but you are 100% CORRECT the sights are misaligned. I never considered the lemat, no particular reason, I just didn't use it. But I won so many QPs with the lemat that I had to start trying it in bounty. And landing that first shot then switching to the shell netted me so many kills in close range. I hope they fix the sight alignment, or maybe that's just a niche of the weapon. I know in history the lemat was not good AT ALL, to the point that confederate officers sometimes banned them from use in their units. So maybe it's just one thing we have to deal with to gain the extra barrel length for the shotgun as well as the range increase for the compact ammo it uses.

forgot to switch on and off the shotgun so many times ahaha

I completely forgot about the LeMat Carbine. Doh.

I'm super new to the game and this gun looks super fun to play! But how do I unlock it?

it is my favorite weapon.

Gotta make a new video about this now Mr

Intimacy not required... but encouraged? 😏

God Damnit Bookie stop tabbing out -_-

I really like the LeMat carbine, but ONLY with incendiary ammo. I don’t know why incendiary ammo gets such a bad wrap when it comes to compact ammo, it makes it usable at range. You can literally kill someone without killing them by stealing health chunks with fire.

Don't you say something against the sassy "LeMat Carbine Stance" ever again! They are feeling the sass and I wouldn't have it any other way! Great video, as always.

Aww I was hoping for a return of Iris

After the slug limb damage nerfs, using them on the lemat carbine has been infuriating. I swear they're magnetized to the shoulders/arms of enemy hunters, which, post nerf, is never a 1-hit kill. The number of times I've slugged someone at point blank and they don't die is embarrassing. In every instance I've used it I wish I brought standard buck, and not because I'm missing, but because they don't kill at 5m-8m where the same shot with buck would have been a devastating meatshot. Pre-nerf I loved slugs, especially in the lemat pistol, because of their reliability at

Guilty as charged, I am very into Hillary Duff.

turns out, a third one is necessary.

Another hood classic

IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET IT. I was in the field and I'm still 7 levels away...

Did you just diss the Dark Knight Rises? Who doesn't like that movie?
