=Handguns=
−
Former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) carries a Confederate-made [[Griswold & Gunnison Revolver]], by which he is recognized in "Pilot" (S1E01). The correct Griswold & Gunnison is visible for a split second at 34:20 in Episode 3, "A New Birth of Freedom."  In some scenes, he uses a brass-framed copy of the 1860 Colt Army revolver, a weapon which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s. The rebated cylinder and 1860-type loading lever can be seen in several episodes, especially the one where he lends it to the ex-slave and teaches him to shoot.

Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) continues to use a [[Colt 1860 Army]] as his primary sidearm in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01) as he did for much of the first season. However, after he is captured, and subsequently released by the US Army, he switches to a [[Remington 1858 New Army]] for the remainder of the season. Some of the former Confederate soldiers-turned-train-robbers also use the [[Colt 1860 Army]], including Hawkins ([[Ryan Robbins]]). US Cavalry soldiers also use the [[Colt 1860 Army]] revolver during the season. Gregory Toole ([[Duncan Ollerenshaw]]) also uses a one in "Blood Moon" (S2E09). The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not originally manufactured with a brass frame.

During the opening credits sequence, Bohannon is seen with a [[Colt 1860 Army]] instead of his usual Griswold & Gunnison. The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not manufactured with a brass frame like the Griswold above. The brass framed pistol Bohannon uses in the opening episode is neither an 1860 nor a Griswold but is an amalgam reproduction that was likely used as a stop gap piece for filming. IT is also seen used by many side characters. [[Image:1860Army.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt 1860 Army - .44 Percussion.]]

Elam Ferguson ([[Common]]) carries a [[Colt 1871-72 Open Top]] revolver with an 7.5″ barrel as his sidearm throughout the season. Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott) also uses Elam's revolver to defend against attacking Sioux warriors in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10).

Several people use [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver during the season. Hawkins' ([[Ryan Robbins]]) gang members use [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolvers in "The Railroad Job" (S2E05). Most of the revolvers in the series appear to be brass-framed copies of the [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver, which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s.

In "Scabs" (S2E04), Bohannon uses a a "long rifle" to shoot a railroad worker tortured by the Sioux.  The rifle seen appears to be a [[Sharps 1874]] fitted with a Malcolm-style scope, which is again a problem of dating since the railroad was completed in 1869 and the 1874 model came . . . well . . . later.

The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series Hell on Wheels:


Handguns

Colt 1860 Army

Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) continues to use a Colt 1860 Army as his primary sidearm in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01) as he did for much of the first season. However, after he is captured, and subsequently released by the US Army, he switches to a Remington 1858 New Army for the remainder of the season. Some of the former Confederate soldiers-turned-train-robbers also use the Colt 1860 Army, including Hawkins (Ryan Robbins). US Cavalry soldiers also use the Colt 1860 Army revolver during the season. Gregory Toole (Duncan Ollerenshaw) also uses a one in "Blood Moon" (S2E09). The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not originally manufactured with a brass frame.

Colt 1860 Army - .44 Percussion
Cullen holds his Colt 1860 Army revolver as he finds himself in a mexican stand-off with his old compadre Elam Ferguson in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01).
Hawkins (Ryan Robbins) holds his Colt in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01).
One of Hawkins' accomplices fires his Colt 1860 Army revolver in "The Railroad Job" (S2E05).
