Yeah this movie was tough to screen cap due to the poor quality. I guess you can’t expect too much from a B&W low budget independent film made in the 60s. Really dark in some scenes and during the daytime scenes the sunlight basically causes a whiteout. I didn’t think that the one posse member used a Lee Enfield No.1 Mk3 because to me it looks like the barrel is much longer, but I guess that is just a branch or something in the background.

One big prob is that most scenes with firearms are also capped from the tv broadcasts making them even worse. The Lee Enfield is pretty much definitely the No1 Mk3. Have one here that I could measure. It's exact. The receiver bolt bridge is visible in the pic just above the back edge of the magazine and the rear sight, mounted on the barrel is in line with his chin.

The white pants/pistol cap is the wrong shape and too short in the front to be a 1911. It's almost certainly a Walther PPK or even a PP, the holster is a strong giveaway, too.

Guns used by the rednecks
I See a lot of lever rifles in the possy and the sheriff apprently uses a bolt action rifle, please if anyone have the movie help me to put some screencaps.
I'll see about doing a few caps tonight. I think I still have that dvd. (krispic)

Winchester ammo
When Ben discovers the gun and ammunition in the closet there's a blink and you'll miss it kind of moment. If you pause the movie you can see not only the "Kleanbore" label indicating Remington brand ammo, you can also see "32" on the side of the box, suggesting the 94 isn't chambered in .30-30.
- Since this film is in the public domain, can you get a cap? --Funkychinaman 19:50, 12 August 2012 (CDT)
- I'm afraid my image capturing abilities are quite crude and primitive. My work on the page for Return of the Living Dead 2 is proof of that. --Ballistics_Expert2
- And you know, it could just be a random box of ammo. I've seen plenty of gun/ammo mismatches. --Funkychinaman 19:23, 13 August 2012 (CDT)
