Since the setting of the movie is 1885, wouldn't that be the Sharps Model 1874 Carbine that the soldiers have rather than the percussion Model 1863? Harleyguy 04:58 21 April 2010
I would have thought that standard Army issue (until the Krag-Jorgensen was adopted in the 1890s) would have been some variant of the Trapdoor Springfield. I understand that private purchase was an option in the Army at some points, I did not know that the Sharps was standard issue in the nineteenth century outside of a unit like Berdan's Sharpshooters. Perhaps someone can lead me out of my fog of ignorance? --Ruzhyo 19:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
