Why does the game let me have two of John's Cattleman revolver?

RDR2 version: 2022 latest patch.

 

There's a glitch, which allows you to carry duplicates of John's cattleman revolver. You can kill John Marston before "Pouring Forth Oil I". He's standing near the ledge and you can pop him with explosive arrow. Once he's dead, he drops his gun and you can pick it up no problem, BUT the strangest thing is that it allows you to repeat the whole process and you'll be able to dual wield John's revolver. Now my question is: why? Does this have anything to do with the fact that in the Epilogue it is automatically added to my weapons list? Is this a special gun? Is this, like, a one time strange bug that occurs with this gun specifically? I'm asking this because I've attempted to obtain duplicates of other unique guns such as the Calloway revolver, Micah revolver, Granger revolver but it would never let me pick their guns up for the 2nd time. I can only carry 1 of each sidearm no matter what. I applied the same principle in all of these occasions: spook them in order to disrupt the mission -> make them draw their guns -> disarm them -> pick the gun up -> repeat once more (or just finish the mission). Any ideas why I can't duel wield these other unique guns?

 

Thank you in advance.

I reckon it's just one of those things. In case you're on PC, which judging by what I'm reading you're not, but for those that are you need not go through so much trouble to do this.

There's also a way to do it with only RampageTrainer: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/10532018-dual-wield-unique-weapons/page-8#entry103991033

They coded John's gun just like a regular Cattleman Revolver. That's why you are able to get a second one.

From what I've looked at, all unique weapons are just reskins of their regular counterpart. Same with Hosea's, Dutch's, etc. Whether or not it's possible to obtain two of all unique guns I've no idea how that works. They're their own guns, though, and judging by that should act as their regular guns do.

From what I remember the only gun which its owner has two of it is Micah's Revolver, every other gun its owner only has one of it, I'm only talking about the ones we can collect of course. So perhaps Rockstar didn't want to go into the trouble of allowing us to have two special guns of the same kind only for Micah's Revolver, but for some reason John's Revolver has this option enabled, even though he technically only has one of it.
