Ned Kelly is a 2003 historical drama that focuses on the life of notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly during the late 1870s. The film stars Heath Ledger as Ned Kelly, Orlando Bloom as Joe Byrne, Geoffrey Rush as Francis Hare, and Naomi Watts as Julia Cook.
The firearms are portrayed rather accurately. It is one of the few films in which characters are shown loading cap-and-ball revolvers from powder flasks. As in real life, the Kelly's guns at first are all rather old-fashioned, and partly homemade, because they were poor and couldn't afford the latest 1870s breechloading repeaters available to landowners and the police. As they became successful bushrangers, they upgraded their armory.
The following weapons were used in the film Ned Kelly (2003):
Pistols
The Colt 1851 Navy is seen in the hands of the majority of Ned's gang in the film.
Remington 1858 New Army
Some characters are also armed with the Remington 1858 New Army.
Remington 1858 New Army Snub Nose
Ned Kelly (Heath Ledger) as well as Joe Byrne (Orlando Bloom) use a Remington 1858 New Army Snub Nose. Remington did not manufacture such short pistols but they were sometimes cut down privately for better concealment. Modern reproductions are available with short barrels.
Rifles
Snider Enfield
The British-made Snider-Enfield Rifle is the most commonly seen rifle in the film, used by Ned Kelly as well as members of the Victoria Police. In reality, Ned Kelly carried and used a Snider-Enfield Carbine he named "Betty" which was his most prized rifle.
Martini-Henry
Some Victoria Police are also seen armed with Martini-Henry rifles.

Sawn-Off .577 Carbine
Early on in the film, Ned Kelly uses a sawn-off .577 Carbine as his main weapon. The real Ned Kelly actually did carry one of these (given him by bushranger Harry Power to whom he'd been "apprenticed" as a teenager) and it was supposed to be one of his favorite weapons, though he quit using it later on in life.
Shotguns
Colt Model 1878
Ned takes a Colt Model 1878 from Officer McIntyre (Tim Wright).
