How to start playing?

[Nameless One]

I just started the playing the module and I have some difficulties with the beginning

First, I can't get my starting Mauser to do auto-fire. I turned on the auto-fire in the camp menu and bound it to numpad + key. In battle, I try to hold the LMB and press numpad + but nothing happens. I read the guide but I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Second, I have trouble getting a decent party. In most modules, if I start with a horse and a ranged weapon I can take on infinite numbers of looters on my own. Here, looters are armed with firearms. I managed to get a Townsman and 2 Caravan Guards with my starting money but it's far from enough to defeat a dozen looters. What can I do?

Mausers are bolt action rifles.

ha ha ha ha omg seriously how you're gun knowledge is extremely poor firstly mauser 98k's are bolt action,secondly the idea is to defeat the looters is to always carry a melee weapon that way if things get a bit out of hand you can just ride em down with your horse,oh and always use hit and run tactics works 95% of the time,thirdly if you want to use auto fire you have to get a weapon that is capable of doing so e.g. the Thompson

I didn't ask this in order to compare my gun knowledge and my M&B tactics with some hothead kid who can't put together a couple of sentences.

I expected starting Mauser to be capable of auto-fire because the Automatic Weapon Guide topic says that Mausers are the only pistols that have auto-fire capability (in the module, not in RL).

Finally, I'd like to see a video of someone defeating a dozen looters in this mod with a melee weapon in, for example, 5 attempts or less.

Mauser pistols were automatic, if you want more power, use the MG 34.

yeah  my grammar is terrible sorry just tried to give you a few tips that's all and who you calling a kid you don't know my age do you, anyway i shouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that you where talking about the rifle i blame it on call of duty, im so used to when people say Mauser i think of the rifle and completely forget they also made other weapons.

you need to use the weapons whose name ends with "A" to perform auto-fire.
