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.

 == Springfield M1903A3 ==
-A [[M1903 Springfield|Springfield M1903A3]] is wielded by the few U.S. Army soldiers in the film as well as some of the posse including Coffer ([[Strother Martin]]. Coffer is using the WW2 version, not the pre-WW1 model. Since the story is set sometime during the years 1913-1916 it's anachronistic.
+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. 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.

Many Marines and Army rangers hit the battlefield with the 03-A3.  This example was built at the Remington plant.

+== Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine ==
+Characters on both sides of the law use [[Winchester Model 1892|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.

-==Winchester Model 1892==
+== Winchester Model 1912 ==
-Dutch Engstrom ([[Ernest Borgnine]]) uses one while robbing the train and members of the posse, such as Deke Thornton ([[Robert Ryan]]), use it as well. This rifle is frequently mistaken for the [[Winchester Model 1894]], but in fact all of the lever-guns in this movie are the Model 92. (The shape of the receiver is similar but differs near the trigger, with the Model 94 being more squarish and the Model 92 having a slight downward bulge.)
+Clarence "Crazy" Lee ([[Bo Hopkins]]) uses a [[Winchester Model 1912]] during the opening payroll robbery.
-Like all the Winchester lever-action rifles, the Winchester 92 was designed by John Moses Browning (who also designed the Colt 1911 pistol). It was the last Winchester designed for black powder cartridges, and was manufactured from 1892 up into the 1930s. The Model 92 remains a favorite of Hollywood prop men even today because it easily cycles various types of black powder blank cartridges used during film productions, unlike the much more finicky mechanism of the Model 94, which was designed with the tighter tolerances required by smokeless powder.

-==Winchester Model 1897==
+== Single Barrel Shotgun ==
-Pike Bishop ([[William Holden]]) carried a [[Winchester Model 1897]] riot gun. This is a militarized version known as a "trench gun".
+A [[Single Barreled Shotgun|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.
-[[Image:1897.jpg#file Winchester Model 1897|none|350px|thumb|Winchester 1897 trench gun version]]
-==Winchester Model 1912==
+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]. 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.
-Used by various members of the bunch such as Dutch, Lyle, and Tector as their shotgun of choice. Clarence "Crazy" Lee ([[Bo Hopkins]]) used one during the opening robbery. The external hammer is visible when pumped.

+=Machine Gun=
 == Browning M1917 ==
-The machine gun looks a lot like the .30-06 [[Browning M1917]] water cooled machine gun.  But the movie takes place before then as Pershing is referenced to still be operating in Mexico.  So it just might be an anachronism.
+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.

+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.
