Several characters in the film are seen using [[Single Action Army]] revolvers, including Sheriff Bill Daggett ([[Gene Hackman]]) and English Bob ([[Richard Harris]]). In one of the more notable scenes, Little Bill gives Bob's biographer, W.W. Beauchamp ([[Saul Rubinek]]) , a loaded Peacemaker and claims all he has to do is shoot him and he can bust Bob out of jail. Both afraid and inexperienced, Beauchamp decides to give the gun to Bob instead. Bob declines, which proves to be a smart choice because Bill had the gun loaded with the next chamber empty. | Several characters in the film are seen using [[Single Action Army]] revolvers, including Sheriff Bill Daggett ([[Gene Hackman]]) and English Bob ([[Richard Harris]]).

Both afraid and inexperienced, Beauchamp decides to give the gun to Bob instead. Bob declines, which proves to be a smart choice because Bill had the gun loaded with the next chamber empty(this, however, may not be the case and this point is subject to debate given that 1873 revolvers were generally carried with only five rounds loaded). Another point to be made is that Colt 1873 revolvers did not have recessed chambers, even for the .44 rimfire models, thus it is pretty easy to see whether you have an empty chamber under the hammer; you can watch Little Bill return his revolver to carry position after cocking it, simply by looking for the empty chamber and lining it up to turn up under the hammer(no need to engage in any of that "load one and skip one" routine). | ||

Unforgiven is the 1992 classic Western directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, who also stars in the film as William Munny, a former gunslinger who is recruited to hunt down the men who were involved in the mutilation of a prostitute. He then has to face the reputation of his past as he clashes with the sheriff of the town (Gene Hackman). The film's cast included Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris. Unforgiven would subsequently be nominated for nine Academy Awards and would receive four, including the Awards for Best Picture, Best Director for Eastwood, and Best Supporting Actor for Hackman. A Japanese language feature film remake starring Ken Watanabe was released in 2013.
The following weapons were used in the film Unforgiven (1992):
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Colt 1860 Army
At the beginning of the film when Quick Mike (David Mucci) cuts up Delilah Fitzgerald (Anna Levine), Skinny Dubois (Anthony James) holds a Colt 1860 Army to his head in order to stop his assault.
Remington 1875
Clyde Ledbetter (Ron White) uses a Remington 1875 to threaten English Bob (Richard Harris).
Single Action Army
Several characters in the film are seen using Single Action Army revolvers, including Sheriff Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) and English Bob (Richard Harris). In one of the more notable scenes, Little Bill gives Bob's biographer, W.W. Beauchamp (Saul Rubinek), a loaded Peacemaker and claims all he has to do is shoot him and he can bust Bob out of jail. Both afraid and inexperienced, Beauchamp decides to give the gun to Bob instead. Bob declines, which proves to be a smart choice because Bill had the gun loaded with the next chamber empty(this, however, may not be the case and this point is subject to debate given that 1873 revolvers were generally carried with only five rounds loaded). Another point to be made is that Colt 1873 revolvers did not have recessed chambers, even for the .44 rimfire models, thus it is pretty easy to see whether you have an empty chamber under the hammer; you can watch Little Bill return his revolver to carry position after cocking it, simply by looking for the empty chamber and lining it up to turn up under the hammer(no need to engage in any of that "load one and skip one" routine).
Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3
The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett) carries a Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 throughout the film. After he kills Quick Mike (David Mucci), he gives the gun to Will, claiming he doesn't want to kill anyone else. Will then uses it when he takes on all the deputies in the whorehouse at the film's end. One would expect Will to obtain some ammunition from the Kid given that the Schofield could only chamber .45 Schofield ammunition which might not be available nearby in a small town; Will appears to ride off with six rounds in the gun.
Starr 1858 Army
William Munny (Clint Eastwood) takes out a Starr 1858 Army percussion revolver from its case where it had been stored away for many years when joining The Kid on his manhunt. He tries to shoot a can on a wooden post for target practice, only to find that his aim was lost with his age.
Webley Bulldog
English Bob (Richard Harris) keeps a Webley Bulldog in a shoulder holster as a backup gun for self defense. Little Bill (Gene Hackman) describes the pistol as a ".32" and forces Bob to surrender it before beating him for talking about the Queen on Independence Day.
Rifles
Spencer 1860 Saddle Ring Carbine
Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) uses a Spencer 1860 Carbine as his weapon in the film, and claims he has and still can shoot a flying bird in the eye. He later gives it to William Munny (Clint Eastwood) to shoot one of the outlaws when he can't. When confronting Sheriff Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman), Will grabs the rifle and uses it in the bar shootout.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" (mocked up as Henry 1860)
Deputy Andy Russell (Jeremy Ratchford) is seen using a Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" with the forend removed to resemble a Henry 1860 rifle to point at English Bob (Richard Harris) when he first enters the town and does not surrender his firearms.
Winchester 1892
Despite how anachronistic it is (since the film takes place in 1881), several deputies are seen armed with Winchester 1892 rifle. The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett) is also seen with a '92 rifle and uses it to shoot at Will and Ned before they reveal who they are. Due to his poor eyesight, the kid fires the gun all over the place and Ned asks to check the rifle to see if it is bent. Film studios and gun rental companies frequently used the anachronistic Model 1892 because it was actually being manufactured when the Hollywood studio system collapsed and a shift was made toward outdoor Western movies; in addition the Model 1892 handled the popular 5 in 1 Remington blank. One very anachronistic reference in the movie occurs when a posseman laments his inability to purchase .30-30 ammo, such cartridge not appearing until 1895.
Shotguns
J. Stevens & Company 1878
Charley Hecker (John Pyper-Ferguson) uses a J. Stevens & Company 1878 shotgun throughout the film.
W. Richards 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
William Munny uses a 10 Gauge Double Barreled shotgun with most of the finish worn off as his long arm in the film. He most notably uses it at the end to shoot Skinny Dubois (Anthony James) in his saloon for displaying Ned's dead body outside. He attempts to shoot Little Bill with the gun, but it misfires, likely from getting wet in the rain, so he throws it at Bill, giving him enough time to draw his Schofield.
Trivia
Though not seen in the film, the Colt Walker is described when Little Bill tells Beauchamp the true story of a famous gunfight between English Bob and a cowboy named Corky "Two-Gun" Corcoran. In reality, Bob missed twice (because he was drunk), while Corky hastily fired one round and shot his own toe off, then aimed his second shot carefully, but his "Walker Colt blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model." This is a true statement, as the cylinder walls of the Colt Walker were thinner than other models to accommodate the large .44 caliber balls and powder. An over-generous loading of powder could lead to a "chain fire", in which all of the chambers would fire at once if a cylinder wall ruptured.
Little Bill also informs Beauchamp that Corky was nicknamed "Two-Gun" not because he carried two pistols (if he had, he might not have been unarmed and helpless when Bob finally succeeded in hitting him), but because his Colt's barrel was actually shorter than his male endowment.
