The Great Sioux Massacre is a 1965 American Western film directed by Sidney Salkow and stars Darren McGavin, Joseph Cotten, and Philip Carey. The film revolves around Custer's Last Stand through the eyes of one of his subordinates. The film is a remake of Salkow's 1954 movie Sitting Bull, with some stock footage from that movie appearing in the film.
The following weapons were used in the film The Great Sioux Massacre:
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army
Captain Benton (Darren McGavin), Colonel Custer (Philip Carey), Major Reno (Joseph Cotten), and virtually the entire 7th Cavalry are armed with a Colt Single Action Army . Although they are mostly 7.5" barrel models, Dakota (John Matthews) briefly carries the 5.5" barrel model.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892
Both US Army soldiers and Native Americans carry Winchester Model 1892 to fight and slaughter each other. Dakota (John Matthews) briefly uses a Winchester Model 1892 at the beginning of the film. This is an anachronism considering the film is based in 1875 and the Winchester Model 1892 was introduced 17 years later.
Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Carbine
Soldiers of the 7th United States Cavalry carry the Springfield Model 1873 Carbine as their service rifles. Native Americans also carried Springfield Model 1873 Carbines to fight against the U.S. Army.

M1903 Springfield
What appears to be M1903 Springfield rifles are seen carried by the last soldiers protecting Colonel Custer (Philip Carey) from the natives in the climactic battle of the film. This is an anachronism since the film sets its story in 1875 and the M1903 Springfield was introduced 28 years later.
