Strategy and tips:
On a main playthrough this is an ideal mission to get Weapons Expert 8 in - you must use only sidearms anyway, so all you need to do is make sure you have a long barrelled modification for a revolver - in this case I used my Scofields - and you'll get it automatically along with gold. This however has a very tight time: combined with a heavy headshot requirement. It's therefore important to be able to use Dead Eye, and I think this one would be fiendishly difficult to do on a replay. To beat the time, it's important to know where the enemies will come from in each wave, and get them quickly - for new ones arriving, ideally before they reach cover. For those already dug in, Dead Eye them the instant they pop up to shoot. Also being gung-ho and moving out into the open can help draw them out a bit quicker. Because of all this, I like to take a miracle tonic, right before I start the mission. For the record, I skipped the cut scenes and edited them back into this video from a separate playthrough, although there is some debate as to whether these count or not to the time.
