Revision as of 04:51, 10 March 2012
The following guns were used in the film Appaloosa:
Shotguns
Steve Karnes 1878 Shotgun
Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) carries an 8 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in the film, referred to only as "The 8 Gauge" in the dialogue. To handle the vicious recoil of the massive weapon, Everett has a leather pad sewn into the shoulder of his coat to help absorb it. Since the only existing 8 Gauges today are antiques and are unsafe or too expensive to fire, a genius alternative was made. Armorer and gunsmith Steve Karnes built three "8 Gauges" for Gibbons Ltd. out of reproduction Colt 1878 shotguns, two of which fired 12 Gauge blanks with 8 Gauge sleeves over the barrels to increase the bore diameter and hide its real caliber, while one was built to chamber 8 Gauge inert rounds for scenes in which the gun was loaded, as the size between 8 and 12 Gauge is far too different for no one to notice. To see more on the production of the shotguns, visit the SK 1878 shotgun page, with actual information and images by Steve Karnes.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun can be seen on the gun rack in the jailhouse. Ring Shelton's (Lance Henriksen) brother, Mackie Shelton (Adam Nelson), is also seen using one to hold up Allison French (Renée Zellweger) when trying to force Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) to give up Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons).
Rifles & Carbines
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) carries a Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" as his rifle in the film. Sheriff Clyde Stringer (Rex Linn) carries one while escorting Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons) on the train. One of the Apaches is seen using one with tribal decorations as well.
Winchester 1873 "Short Rifle"
Both Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons) and Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) carry Winchester 1873 "Short Rifles" with 20" Octagonal barrels.
Spencer 1860 Carbine
Charlie Tewksbury (Corby Griesenbeck) is seen aiming a Spencer 1860 Carbine from a window of the train.
Sharps Carbine
One of the Apache Indians is seen using a Sharps Carbine of unknown year. It is never seen clearly in the actual film, but luckily is seen in the DVD special features.
Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine
One of the Apache Indians is seen using a Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine. It is never seen clearly in the actual film, but luckily is seen in the DVD special features.
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) carries two Single Action Army revolvers in the film, his main being a 7 1/2" Cavalry model with bone grips and his belt gun a 5 1/2" Artillery. Many other characters use them in the film as well.
Colt 1872 Open Top Revolver .44 Caliber
Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) carries a Colt 1872 Open Top Revolver as his sidearm in the film.
