	Ol' Mose Harper ([[Hank Worden]]) uses an old Jenks "Mule Ear" Carbine. This old breech-loading, percussion carbine was manufactured by the N.P. Ames company of Springfield, Massachusetts for the U.S. Navy between 1843 and 1846. Approximately 4,250 were produced. It got its name from the odd shape of its hammer, which was mounted strictly on the right side of the gun and was cocked by pulling it outward to the right rather than rearward like a traditional hammer~~. While the rear of the gun (specifically the hammer) isn't very well seen in the film, the overall profile of the gun is unmistakable to anyone familiar with the Jenks~~. There have been reproductions of this gun offered in more recent times, but there weren't any being made at the time of filming, meaning this is likely an original. A fun bit of trivia is that Mose shoots this gun left-handed, which must've been quite painful considering any gas and/or percussion cap shards would be propelled to the right of the gun.....right where his face would be.
