Colt M1911 pistol
Used by William Holden's character as well as others in the bunch. In actuality though they were not used in the film because they couldn't be made to function with blanks so stand-ins were used. A Star model B was used in those scenes were the pistols had to be fired
M1897 Trench shotgun
Used by various members of the bunch as their shotgun of choice.
M1903 Springfield Rifle
Wielded by the few US Army soldiers in the film as well as some of the posse including Strother Martin's character.
Colt M1873 Peacemaker
Seen as a second sidearm on many through the film.
M1898 Mauser
Many of the Mexican soldiers use these at the end of the film.
Winchester model 1894
Ernest Borgnine's character uses one while robbing the train and members of the posse use it as well.
M1917 Browning Machine Gun
The machine gun looks a lot like the .30-06 M1917 water cooled machine gun. But the movie takes place before then as Pershing is referenced to still be operating in Mexico. So it just might be an anachronism.
