News of the World is a 2020 Western movie directed by Paul Greengrass, based on the 2016 novel by Paulette Jiles, and starring Tom Hanks as Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a former Confederate officer who meets orphaned girl Johanna (Helena Zengel) and accepts responsibility for taking the girl to her relatives.
The following weapons were used in the film News of the World:
Revolvers
Remington 1858 New Army
Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) carries a Remington 1858 New Army revolver that he receives from his friend Simon Boudlin (Ray McKinnon). The revolver is a cartridge conversion. What appears to be a Remington 1858 is also seen in holster of Cavalry Lieutenant (Tom Astor).
Unidentified Smith & Wesson
J. G. Almay (Michael Covino) carries a nickel plated top-break Smith & Wesson revolver. Strangely, it combines features of various versions of the Model 3, such as the Model 3 style frame, Russian Model or Schofield style extractor shroud and frame latch, and the angular rear part of the frame and the grip are similar to the New Model No. 3. Exactly the same revolver is seen in Deadwood (2019) which had the same armorer Joey Rocketshoes Dillon. In any case, even the original Model 3 would be too modern a gun for 1870 Texas.
Both of Almay's henchmen, Clay (Clay James) and Cash (Cash Lilley), carry Colt 1851 Navy revolvers. In the climactic scene, Merritt Farley (Thomas Francis Murphy) holds a Colt 1851 Navy.
Colt 1848 Dragoon
Farley's henchman John Calley (Fred Hechinger) carries a Colt Dragoon. Later, he gives it to Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks).
Colt 1836 Paterson
Benjamin Farley (Gabriel Ebert) holds a Colt Paterson 1836 in the climactic scene.
Rifles
Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine"
One of Farley's men is armed with a Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine".
Henry 1860
Tom Farley (Clint Obenchain) carries a Henry 1860 rifle. A Henry rifle is also seen in hands of an aged Kiowa tribesman.
Winchester Model 1866 Rifle
Almay's henchman Clay (Clay James) is armed with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifle.
Winchester Model 1866 Carbine
Almay's henchman Cash (Cash Lilley) is armed with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" carbine. Carbines are also seen in the hands of Mr. Farley's men.
Sharps Carbine
Cavalrymen are armed with Sharps Carbines of 1859, 1863 or 1869 model.
Spencer 1860 Carbine
Benjamin Farley (Gabriel Ebert) carries a Spencer 1860 carbine.
Springfield Rifled Musket
Infantry soldiers are armed with Springfield 1861, 1863 or 1864 rifled muskets.
Hawken rifle
Johanna's uncle Wilhelm Leonberger (Neil Sandilands) holds a Hawken rifle.
Shotguns
Holland & Holland Double Barreled Coach Gun
Throughout the movie, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) carries a double barreled Coach Gun. This is a model with exposed hammers and underlever. Such guns were produced by a number of manufacturers, notably English Holland & Holland, Purdey or Greener. The markings one the gun are seen not very clearly, but still allow to guess that this shotgun may be a Holland & Holland. The shotgun shells are originally loaded with birdshot, but Johanna (Helena Zengel) suggests to load the shells with the dimes Kidd earned from his work to make more lethal ammunition. The size of dime coins perfectly fits the 12 gauge.
Double Barreled Shotgun
A common Double Barreled Shotgun is seen in the hands of Farley's man.
