[[Image:Wildbunchposter.jpg|thumb|right|350px|''The Wild Bunch'' (1969).]]__TOC__<br clear=all>
'''''The Wild Bunch''''' is the 1969 Western starring [[William Holden]] as the leader of an aging outlaw gang at the beginning of the 20th century who make one last score and are pursued into Mexico by a posse led by a former ally.  The film is considered director [[Sam Peckinpah]]'s finest film, but was highly controversial at the time due to its extreme violence and themes. In 2006, the restored version of the film was released on DVD under the title ''The Wild Bunch: The Original Director's Cut''. The film's influence can be seen in the works of director [[John Woo]] and [[Walter Hill]] as well.

== Colt M1911/Star Model B ==
The members of the "Wild Bunch", most notably Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, Lyle Gorch, and Angel, use [[M1911 pistol series#M1911|Colt M1911]] pistols. As with many other films made during this time, 9mm [[Star Model B]] pistols were used instead as they were more reliable with blanks. The German government official with Gen. Mapache notes that the "Wild Bunch" are carrying them, noting to tell them that they cannot be acquired ''legally'' by private citizens. In the film, you can see that they use both M1911's and Star Model B's as well, the pictures from the film below you can tell the difference from a M1911 to Star Model B, just by looking at the diameter of the barrel and size.

== Single Action Army ==
Of the "Wild Bunch", Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, and Tector Gorch keep a [[Single Action Army]] as a secondary sidearm. Deke Thornton and the rest of his posse pack SAAs and they seem to be the standard sidearm of the Mexican Army, including Major Zamorra ([[Jorge Russick]]). Other anonymous characters use them as well.

== Colt New Service ==
Some of the Mexican soldiers carry [[Colt New Service]] revolvers. In both flashbacks, a lawman arresting Thornton and a jealous husband who wounds Pike each use a New Service. Pat Harrigan also keeps one in his waistband.

== Winchester Model 1897 ==
== Luger P08 ==
Many of the "Wild Bunch" use [[Winchester Model 1897]] riot shotguns, most notably Pike Bishop ([[William Holden]]), Dutch Engstrom ([[Ernest Borgnine]]), Lyle Gorch ([[Warren Oates]]), and Angel ([[Jaime Sanchez]]).
The Mexican prostitute that shoots Pike in the back during the final shootout uses a [[Luger P08]].

== Springfield M1903A3 ==
== Springfield M1903A3 ==
Some of the U.S. Army and Mexican Army soldiers in the film use [[M1903 Springfield|Springfield M1903A3]] rifles. Tector ([[Ben Johnson]]) uses one while dressed as an Army corporal and in some scenes after. Coffer ([[Strother Martin]]), a member of Thornton's posse, uses one as well, at one point telling one of the other posse members to dig a bullet out of a corpse to see if it is one of his .30-06 rounds. Coffer's M1903A3 is the World War II variant, making it anachronistic for a film taking place between 1913 and 1916. The rifles used on the film were made by National Ordnance.
The [[M1903 Springfield|Springfield M1903A3]] rifle is widely used in the movie. Tector ([[Ben Johnson]]) uses one while dressed as an Army corporal and in some scenes after. Coffer ([[Strother Martin]]), a member of Thornton's posse, uses one as well, at one point telling T.C. to dig a bullet out of a corpse to see if it is one of his .30-06 rounds.

== Single Barrel Shotgun ==  
==Mauser Model 1936==
A single barrel shotgun is used by a town resident to shoot one of Pikes gang members in the face. The shotgun has a very long barrel giving the impression that this citizen grabbed his duck gun and tried to help fight the gang.
Some of Mapache's soldiers use [[M1936 Mexican Mauser]], which are substitutes to correct M1910 and M1912 Mausers.

It is possible the gun is a [http://www.worldcollectable.com/shotgun-topper-m48-20-gauge-shotgun.html "Harrington & Richardson Topper M48 Shotgun" 20 gauge].

Some of Mapache's soldiers use Steyr-made [[Mauser Rifle Series | Mauser 1912 Short Rifles]]. These were purchased by Mexico around the time the movie is set.

In one of the most memorable scenes of the movie Thorton and the posse stop on the bridge to shoot at the gang, not realizing that the bridge has been packed with dynamite.

Later on, Pike remarks that Thorton won’t be on their trail "after riding half a case of dynamite into the river". The stunt men saddled on live horses rode the exploding bridge into the river. The gang also ties dynamite to the wagon full of guns, and threaten to blow up the wagon if the Mexicans attack them or dont pay up. Lyle uses dynamite to play a joke on Skyes.

The Wild Bunch is the 1969 Western starring William Holden as the leader of an aging outlaw gang at the beginning of the 20th century who make one last score and are pursued into Mexico by a posse led by a former ally. The film is considered director Sam Peckinpah's finest film, but was highly controversial at the time due to its extreme violence and themes. In 2006, the restored version of the film was released on DVD under the title The Wild Bunch: The Original Director's Cut. The film's influence can be seen in the works of director John Woo and Walter Hill as well.


The following weapons were used in the film The Wild Bunch:

Handguns

Colt M1911/Star Model B

The members of the "Wild Bunch", most notably Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, Lyle Gorch, and Angel, use Colt M1911 pistols. As with many other films made during this time, 9mm Star Model B pistols were used instead as they were more reliable with blanks. The German government official with Gen. Mapache notes that the "Wild Bunch" are carrying them, noting to tell them that they cannot be acquired legally by private citizens. In the film, you can see that they use both M1911's and Star Model B's as well, the pictures from the film below you can tell the difference from a M1911 to Star Model B, just by looking at the diameter of the barrel and size.

Single Action Army

Of the "Wild Bunch", Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, and Tector Gorch keep a Single Action Army as a secondary sidearm. Deke Thornton and the rest of his posse pack SAAs and they seem to be the standard sidearm of the Mexican Army, including Major Zamorra (Jorge Russick). Other anonymous characters use them as well.

Colt New Service

Some of the Mexican soldiers carry Colt New Service revolvers. In both flashbacks, a lawman arresting Thornton and a jealous husband who wounds Pike each use a New Service. Pat Harrigan also keeps one in his waistband.

Rifles & Carbines

Springfield M1903A3

The Springfield M1903A3 rifle is widely used in the movie. Tector (Ben Johnson) uses one while dressed as an Army corporal and in some scenes after. Coffer (Strother Martin), a member of Thornton's posse, uses one as well, at one point telling T.C. to dig a bullet out of a corpse to see if it is one of his .30-06 rounds. Coffer's M1903A3 is the World War II variant, making it anachronistic for a film taking place between 1913 and 1916. The rifles used on the film were made by National Ordnance.

Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine

Characters on both sides of the law use Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine rifles. Of the "Wild Bunch" itself, Pike, Dutch, Tector, Angel, and Freddie Sykes (Edmond O'Brien) can all be seen using Winchester '92s. Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan) leads his posse with a Model 1892. Some members of the posse, including T.C. (L.Q. Jones) use '92s as well.

Single Barrel Shotgun

A single barrel shotgun is used by a town resident to shoot one of Pikes gang members in the face. The shotgun has a very long barrel giving the impression that this citizen grabbed his duck gun and tried to help fight the gang.

It is possible the gun is a "Harrington & Richardson Topper M48 Shotgun" 20 gauge. The gun seen in the movie has a hammer and a small switch to break open the weapon for reload. The barrel also appears to be larger than a more usual 12 gauge shotgun.

Machine Gun

Browning M1917

The Wild Bunch steals a .30-06 water-cooled Browning M1917 machine gun and gives it to Mapache "as a gift". Mapache (Emilio Fernandez) fires it wildly when trying to find out how to use it. Later in the film, Pike, Lyle, and Tector each fire it at the Mexicans during the final shootout. This gun is most likely an anachronism as the film takes place during Pershing's time in Mexico, which was before the M1917's development.

Grenade

Mk 2 hand grenade (probable)

Dutch (Ernest Borgnine) throws a few hand grenades at the end. Though very few details are visible, the grenades are the American Mk2/MKII due to it's long availability in US made movies. Due to safety concerns the movie version of the grenade is most likely a training grenade that has been painted green to look like a live grenade.
