Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifles are seen often in the film.
Colt New Service
One of Blue Duck's thugs firing at Gus McGrae (Robert Duvall) in Part 2 is seen using a Colt New Service revolver, which is extremely anachronistic for the time, but is typically used by actors who cannot fire a single action gun fast enough for film standards.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
The first Mexican cook of the group, Bolivar, carries a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in Part 1 and 2. Guards outside Blue Duck's (Frederic Forrest) jail cell in Part 4 also carry shotguns.
Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalry Carbine
One of the bank robbers in Part 3 uses a Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalry Carbine, and hands it to Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) to use during a robbery, but he never fires a shot.
Remington Rolling Block
Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) uses a militarized Remington Rolling Block as a crutch to walk on when his leg is shot up with poisoned arrows in Part 4.
Unknown Rifle
In Part 3, Big Zwey (Frederick Coffin) uses an unknown rifle to hunt buffalo, before returning to beat Luke (Steve Buscemi) for making advances on "his woman".
Special: "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit"
Famous to all who have seen the film, Gus comically added this Latin phrase to his sign without any idea as to what it says. Call asks "What if it's an invitation to rob you?" and he replies, "If any man can read that, he's welcome to." While the translation is impossible to translate exactly, the basic translation most people agree on is "A grape changes color (ripens) when it sees another grape."
