Shanghai Knights is the 2003 sequel to 2000's Shanghai Noon.
The following weapons were used in the film Shanghai Knights:
Colt Single Action Army
Sheriff Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) gives up his Colt Single Action Army to his Deputy (Matt Hill) at the beginning of the movie.
Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle
Seen in the hands of the Royal Guards in front of Buckingham palace. If this is an Enfield, then it would be very anachronistic since this movie took place in 1887 and the earliest model Enfield was made in 1888. Buckingham Palace guards should be carrying Martini-Henry Mk.IIIs at this time. There is a good possibility that the WW2-era Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle was used as a "stand-in" for the original Lee-Metford of 1888.
Remington 1866 Derringer
Lord Nelson Rathbone (Aidan Gillen) carries a Remington 1866 Derringer via an arm anchor hidden up his right sleeve.
"The Machine Gun"
Lord Rathbone reveals to Chon and Roy a new weapon that he calls the "Machine Gun", capable of firing 200 rounds a minute and that it was British in origins. This weapon is a belt fed Gatling-type firearm that automatically rotating barrels. According to the Long Mountain Outfitters, this prop was a Vickers gun combined with a Browning M1919 receiver synced to a motor-driven rotating barrel assembly. Wu Chow (Donnie Yen) is seen handling the weapon.
