Please note, this film contains offensive terms used in a humorous manner so any racist terms quoted on this page are for comedy reason only.

Single Action Army

As with most westerns, near everyone in the film carries a Single Action Army revolver. Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) carries a 5" Artillery with a nickel finish and pearl grips, while Jim (Gene Wilder) carries a pair of nickel played 7 1/2" Cavalaries.

Colt Single Action Army 5" Artillery - .45 Long Colt.

"I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots." Taggart (Slim Pickens) with a 4 3/4" Quickdraw Single Action Army with a nickel finish.

Howard Johnson (John Hillerman) and Sam Johnson (Richard Collier) point their Single Action Armies at Bart, the new town Sheriff.

A town member readies his Single Action Army as Bart stands at the podium.

"Nobody move or the nigger gets it." Bart holds his SAA on himself to fool the dumb townspeople into dropping their weapons.

"Oh baby, you are so talented! And they are so dumb!"

Taggart's men level their SAAs on Bart.

Jim aims his SAA at the dynamite in the town, about a good mile away!

Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine

Despite being anachronistic (although it doesn't really matter in this film, since at one point it jumps from 1874 to 1974), some of the townspeople are seen loading up Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines when Bart (Cleavon Little) introduces himself as the new Sheriff. Several are also seen in the gun rack at the Sheriff's Department.

Winchester 1892 - .38-40 WCF.

A townsmember chambers his Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine.

Several Winchester 1892s are seen in the Sheriff's Department gun rack.

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Some of Taggart's (Slim Pickens) men are seen using 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns with exposed hammers.

Charles Parker 1878 Shotgun - 12 Gauge.

A thug behind Lyle (Burton Gilliam) holds a Double Barreled Shotgun.

Springfield 1903 Prop Gun

The dancers during Lili Von Schtupp's (Madeline Kahn) performance fire prop firing Sprinfield 1903 rifles into the air. Later on, German WWII soldiers are also seen with them, which is factually incorrect enough to not require comment.
