==Garate Revolver==
What appears to be a [[Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action|Garate .455 Revolver]] is used by Jack Durrance ([[Wes Bentley]]) after catching up the sniper.

==Webley Mk V==
Edward Castleton ([[Kris Marshall]]) and William Trench ([[Michael Sheen]]) use an anachronistic [[Webley .455 Mk V]] revolver during the battle. The appearance of this Webley model is clearly an anachronism; the Webley Green revolver would be more accurate for this time period.
