Revision as of 07:48, 11 January 2024
The following weapons were used in the film Once Upon a Time in the West:
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army
Seen in the hands of Harmonica (Charles Bronson), Frank (Henry Fonda), and Cheyenne (Jason Robards), as well as many other characters are Single Action Army revolvers in various barrel lengths and finishes.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel - .45 Long Colt. This is the screen-used gun used by Jason Robards in Once Upon a Time in the West.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 5.5" barrel. This is the screen-used by Charles Bronson in Once Upon a Time in the West.
Knuckles (Al Mulock) waits for Harmonica to leave the train to kill him.
Cheyenne takes Harmonica's blued 5" Artillery SAA and rolls it to him. Harmonica declines Cheyenne's challenge. This revolver has an extremely small bore despite the large bore chambers in .44 or .45; the barrel also lacks a front sight and is probably aluminum. The gun is likely a dedicated blank-firing fast draw competition gun and, given Harmonica's method of firing it, may be modified internally to be "fanned".
Snakey (Jack Elam) plays with his SAA while waiting for Harmonica's (Charles Bronson) train to arrive. Note the the brass trigger guard. While the brass trigger guard may indicate that this is not a genuine Colt, it may be that a Model 1851 grip frame and one piece grip were added for appearances.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892 "Mare's Leg"
Stoney (Woody Strode) uses a sawed-down Winchester Model 1892 rifle, nicknamed "Mare's Leg", as his weapon of choice. The gun has a trigger pin attached to the lever for rapid fire, meaning he uses it more as a quick draw gun than for accuracy. Aside from dramatic effect, the automatic fire pin serves no purpose in the film because the gun is fired only once by "slipping" the hammer.
Stoney (Woody Strode) loads the chamber on the "Mare's Leg". Because the automatic firing device on this gun cannot be backed-off, Stoney must short-cycle the lever and then lower the hammer with his thumb, certainly a dangerous procedure for just a short duration. In order to clear the chamber (if no gunfight occurred), he could half-cycle the action, ejecting the chambered round and simply dump out the fresh round on the lifter (the Model 1892 does not retain the fresh round if inverted and carbines used by John Wayne and Chuck Connors required additional gunsmithing to perform the popular "spin cocking" maneuver).
Stoney (Woody Strode) loads up his Winchester '92 "pistol". This gun probably held 5-6 rounds before loading the chamber. Note that Stoney intends to "slip fire" the hammer.
The hit team turns to face Harmonica (Charles Bronson) after he gets off the train.
Stoney (Woody Strode) catches one from Harmonica (Charles Bronson). Woody Strode has a rather unusual method of holding the Mare's Leg, extending his fingers around rather than through the loop lever.
Stoney (Woody Strode) is the last one to fall.
Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine
Aside from Stoney's cut-down version, several thugs and assassin's throughout the film are armed with Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Black-Powder Shotgun
The father (Frank Wolff) is seen using a Double Barreled Percussion Shotgun to shoot quail with his son. It is noted as a black powder shotgun based on the ramrod positioned under the barrel. Jill McBain (Claudia Cardinale) is also seen using the side-by-side black powder muzzleloading shotgun, and uses it to fire a shot at a torch-wielding assassin in the dark.
