Jonah Hex is a 2010 supernatural Western starring Josh Brolin as a scarred bounty hunter who possesses the power to bring people back from the dead. He is asked by President Ulysses S. Grant to try to stop a vengeful ex-Confederate general-turned terrorist (who also is responsible for the death of Hex's family) from destroying the U.S. with a stolen "superweapon." The film was adapted from the DC Comic book series and the character was also adapted into the CW series Legends of Tomorrow.

The following weapons were used in the film Jonah Hex:

Revolving Cannons

The "superweapon" that is the focus of the film's plot is a belt-fed Gatling-style cannon (similar to an oversized, clunkier CIWS system) supposedly invented by Eli Whitney (the father of the cotton gin). The weapon is designed to blanket an area with a volley of explosive shells, which are then detonated simultaneously by firing a glowing orange "trigger" shell from the central barrel. Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich) mounts the weapon on an ironclad and plans to use it to level Washington, D.C.

Wall of Guns

When Jonah visits Smith (Lance Reddick), the guns displayed in his secret workshop include:

• Remington 1858 Cattleman's Carbine;
• Colt Model 1855 Revolving Rifle;
• the previously-used Gatling guns;
• Nock Gun;
• and some very steampunk-looking rifles
