How to unlock the Long Arm of Marston achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

Simply kill 500 Enemies (Humans or animals, thanks to No121EIse for confirming that animals do in fact count) with any of the rifles or shotguns.
This achievement is cumulative of all weapons in this category, and should unlock right around the end of the single player campaign.

If (somehow) you have still not unlocked it after doing all SP activities, head over into multiplayer and grab kills there.

EDIT: It appears that Single Player and Multiplayer kills do not stack, so you must achieve 500 kills within one game mode. Therefore, if for some reason it didn't unlock during your SP run, the kills you earned there will NOT carry over to MP and you must start fresh. This rule also applies to ALL stats when going for achievements (i.e. pistol kills, animals slain, etc)

Rifles/Repeaters:
* Repeater Carbine
* Winchester Repeater
* Henry Repeater
* Evans Repeater
* Springfield Rifle
* Bolt Action Rifle
* Buffalo Rifle
* Rolling Block Rifle
* Carcano Rifle

Shotguns:
* Double-Barreled Shotgun
* Sawed-Off Shotgun
* Pump-Action Shotgun
* Semi-Auto Shotgun

As mentioned above, but you can do it against animals.

I have harvested 13,000+ pounds of meat, and am 1 day into play and 37% complete, but just unlocked the achievement. So. It does include animals.

500 Kills with any of the weapons in the category. On Humans or Animals.

If you have red dead undead, this achievement can be won very easily while on Death. While on Death, running into a zombie instantly kills them, each kill counts toward the weapon you currently have out. So just run through Jorge's Gap and you'll get plenty of kills.

I think the best way is to do it on Undead Overrun

All single player and multiplayer kills count towards this achievement. You will need to earn kills online or offline, they do not stack towards the same statistics.

Killing 500 enemies with the various weapon types will be very time consuming. Just progress through the game at your own pace, once you have finished the game and all the free roam activities you should have earned a fair amount of kills with each gun. You can now take your character online and continue with your weapon kills with the community.

Rifles/Repeaters:

  • Repeater Carbine
  • Winchester Repeater
  • Henry Repeater
  • Evans Repeater
  • Springfield Rifle
  • Bolt Action Rifle
  • Buffalo Rifle

Shotguns:

  • Double-Barreled Shotgun
  • Sawed-Off Shotgun
  • Pump-Action Shotgun
  • Semi-Auto Shotgun

This set of achievements will come with general game progression. If you are close to the required kill amount then keep using that weapon type until you unlock the achievement. Then move on to the next.

Just like the previous trophy this should come naturally, however if it doesn't, kill 500 enemies with any rifle until the trophy unlocks. Getting this online won't count unless you get 500 kills with any rifle in Multiplayer. Clearing Hideouts is a good place to farm kills.
