Death Rides a Horse (original Italian title Da uomo a uomo, Man to man) is a 1966 Italian Spaghetti Western movie directed by Giulio Petroni and starring Lee Van Cleef and John Phillip Law. Fifteen years ago, Bill Meceita's (Law) family was massacred by a gang of outlaws. Bill, who is now a skilled gunslinger, suddenly finds a trail that leads him to the murderers. But old grizzled Ryan (Van Cleef) also hunts for the same men, and he plans to be the first to reach them.
The following weapons were used in the film Death Rides a Horse:
Handguns
Single Action Army
Single Action Army revolvers are seen in the hands of numerous characters, including Ryan (Lee Van Cleef), Bill (John Phillip Law), Walcott (Luigi Pistilli), and his henchmen. The revolvers are mostly "Artillery" models, but some "Cavalry" revolvers are also used. Like in many other European western movies, the revolvers are modern replicas, most likely by Uberti.

1862 Richmond Carbine
During the shootout in El Viento, several Mexican peasants use percussion cap muskets that can be identified as 1862 Richmond Carbines due to relatively short barrels. These guns are also likely modern replicas, probably by Chiappa.
