Drum Beat is an American 1954 Western movie directed by Delmer Daves. During the Modoc War (1872-1873) Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) is sent by President Grant to negotiate peace with the Modocs in California and Oregon. MacKay confronts a group of Modoc warriors, lead by Kintpuash, also known as Captain Jack (Charles Bronson).
The following weapons were used in the film Drum Beat:
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Single Action Army Civilian Model
Single Action Army Civilian Model revolvers are used by several of Captain Jack's (Charles Bronson) warriors during the massacre on peace negotiation. Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) also uses a Civilian model revolver in this scene, though he uses an Artillery model throughout the movie. Its worth noting that the events happen a little early for use of Single Action Army revolvers that appeared in 1873.
Single Action Army Artillery Model
Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) carries a Single Action Army Artillery Model revolver with staghorn grip throughout the movie. Artillery model revolvers are also used by Bill Satterwhite (Robert Keith), Mr. Dyar (Frank Ferguson) and Captain Jack (Charles Bronson).
Single Action Army Cavalry Model
US Army officers Capt. Alonzo Clark (George J. Lewis) and Lt. Goodsall (Peter Hansen) use Single Action Army Cavalry Model revolvers during the attack on Modocs mountain stronghold.
Colt 1878 Double Action
Colt 1878 Double Action revolvers, anachronistic for Modoc War era, are used by Bill Satterwhite (Robert Keith) during the ambush on the stagecoach and by Captain Jack (Charles Bronson) when the Modoc warchief kills Gen. Canby.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892
Heavily anachronistic Winchester Model 1892 rifles and carbines are widely used in the movie.
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Many Modoc warriors, notably Captain Jack (Charles Bronson), Scarface Charlie (Rodolfo Acosta) and Modoc Jim (Frank DeKova), use Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Winchester Model 1892 Rifle
Modoc warriors also use Winchester Model 1892 rifles.
Winchester Model 1892 (visually modified)
Some Modoc warriors carry Winchester Model 1892 rifles or carbines, visually modified to resemble earlier Winchesters (most similar to Winchester Model 1876 in musket configuration). These rifles are not genuine Winchester 1892 muskets as they have only a single barrel band as opposed to two on 1892 muskets.
Stevens Single Shot Rifle
In several scenes Captain Jack (Charles Bronson) carries a rifle that appears to be a Stevens single shot rifle model.
Springfield 1873 Trapdoor Carbine
In one scene Bill Satterwhite (Robert Keith) is armed with a Springfield 1873 Trapdoor Carbine. Trapdoor carbines are also used by US Army cavalrymen and armed settlers.
Unidentified rifles
Some cavalrymen carry long rifles that are possibly Springfield 1873 Trapdoor rifles.
Trivia
Cannon
A light field (or mountain) muzzleloading cannon is used by US troops. It is supposed to be a 3-inch Ordnance rifle Model 1861 (or at least a replica based on this artillery piece).
