The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The following guns were used in the film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The Good, The Bad, and The Uglu (1966)

Colt 1851 Navy (Richards-Mason Cartridge)

Blondie (Clint Eastwood) carries a Colt 1851 Navy revolver with a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion kit (which is anachronistic for the time) throughout the film, his being outfitted with wooden grips inlaid with silver rattlesnakes, of which all his revolvers where fitted with in the Leone trilogy. It is based off the same grips used by Clint as Rowdy Yates in "Rawhide". Tuco (Eli Wallach) also carries a Cartridge converted Navy, his being fitted with a lanyard loop, which instead of a holster, is stuck in his pocket (because Eli Wallach had trouble holstering a revolver without looking at the holster.) Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) also used a Navy Cartridge to murder a sickley old man towards the beginning of the film, firing it through his pillow. He keeps this Navy when serving in the Union, but carries a Remington 1858 for his own use. Throughout the film, it becomes obvious that if they have a cartridge revolver, they are going to fire it in the scene. In any other scene, the revolvers changes to an unloaded Percussion models (with the exception of Blondie's).

Angel Eyes fires his Colt Navy Cartridge into the old man, covering his face with a pillow.

Blondie fires his Colt Navy Cartridge at the men trying to arrest Tuco. Note how quick he is, none have even hit the ground yet.)

Close up of Bondie's Navy after dispatching the assassins.

Tuco listens to see how well the cylinder divots fit with the cylinder lock, after piecing together several Navys.

Tuco threatens the gun store owner with the Colt Navy. Note how the hammer has been modified to fire centerfire rounds instead of striking percussion caps.

Blondie cleans his Colt Navy. Blondie must shoot his gun quite often to get it so dirty.

Blondie sleeps with his hand on his Colt Navy. Note the silver inlaid snake grips.

Blondie fires his Colt Navy during the grave yard standoff.

This side-by-side shows how Tuco's revolver switchs from a cartridge revolver to a precussion revolver in the scene. A goof also worth noting is how his revolver is capable of firing under water, while he is in the bath tub.

Tuco with his Navy. To the left, it is a cartridge revolver, which he fires to kill the one armed assassin. To the right, it is a percussion, because he doesn't have to fire it.

Remington 1858 New Army

Carried by Angel Eyes/Sentenza (Lee Van Cleef) as his personal sidearm. His Union issued revolver is a Navy Colt.

Remington Model 1858 in .44 caliber.

Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" lever-action rifle (with ladder-elevated sights)

Used by Blondie when shooting ropes off of the necks of Tuco and the other bandit. (The use of this gun, first produced in 1866, is anachronistic as the film takes place in 1862. Then again, it is tried to look like a Henry Rifle)

Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy". Model in film has forend removed and has a side folding scope, as well as ladder elavated sights. It appears they tried to make it look like a Henry to fit the time.

Gatling Gun

Seen during Civil War battle scenes (with drum magazines).
