Duck! You Sucker! is a 1971 Western directed by Sergio Leone and stars James Coburn as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico to only find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title (which is "Giù la testa, coglione!"). However, it was subsequently re-released under the title A Fistful of Dynamite in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title. Duck! You Sucker! was Leone's last western as well as his most overlooked film, mostly due to the movie being marketed as a comedy/satire of westerns, especially his earlier 'Man With No Name' trilogy.
The following weapons were used in the film Duck, You Sucker! aka A Fistful of Dynamite:
Handguns
Single Action Army
Juan (Rod Steiger) uses a Single Action Army Cavalry throughout the film, most notably to threaten John. It is also used by revolutionaries and the soldiers. A shorter SAA with a 4.75" barrel is also shown.
The kid on the left is armed with a Colt Single Action Army 4.75" barrel.
a Close-up view of the Colt Single Action Army 4.75" barrel.
A Colt Single Action Army Cavalry is seen poking through the window near the man in the middle.
Steyr M1912

Astra 400
One of Juan's children is seen armed with an Astra 400 when they rob the stagecoach, John is also seen having it holstered various times through out the film. This weapon is anachronist, as the Astra 400 was made in 1921, 8 years after the movie took place.
Walther P38
Col. Gunther Reza (Antoine Saint-John) uses an anachronistic (see below) Walther P38, Seen after the train is derailed.
Gunther Reza (Antoine Saint-John) survives to the derailed of his train and his is armed with a Walther P38
Browning Hi Power
A Browning Hi-Power pistol is seen taken by John (James Coburn) from the Mexican governor. This is an anachronism, since the HP was introduced in 1935, and this film takes place in 1913.
Jaime (Franco Graziosi) offers Miranda (Rod Steiger) a fortune to save his life, but Miranda will have a lot of money regardless of whether he lets the governor live or not.

Mauser M43

A bandit fires his Mauser M43 from underneath the carrige they just ambushed.
Several Mexican soldiers use Mauser M43
One of the Miranda's Sons use a Mauser M43 how his rifle.
