Drum Beat is an American 1954 Western movie directed by Delmer Daves. During the Modoc War (1872-1873) Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) is sent by President Grant to negotiate peace with the Modocs in California and Oregon. MacKay confronts a group of Modoc warriors, lead by Kintpuash, also known as Captain Jack (Charles Bronson).
The following weapons were used in the film Drum Beat:
Single Action Army Civilian Model revolvers are used by several of Captain Jack's (Charles Bronson) warriors during the massacre on peace negotiation. Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) also uses a Civilian model revolver in this scene, though he uses an Artillery model throughout the movie. Its worth noting that Single Action Army revolvers are slightly out of time for 1872.
Colt 1878 Double Action revolvers, anachronistic for Modoc War era, are used by Bill Satterwhite (Robert Keith) during the ambush on the stagecoach and by Captain Jack (Charles Bronson) when the Modoc warchief kills Gen. Canby.
Some Modoc warriors carry Winchester Model 1892 rifles or carbines, visually modified to resemble earlier Winchesters (most similar to Winchester Model 1876 in musket configuration). These rifles are not genuine Winchester 1892 muskets as they have only a single barrel band as opposed to two on 1892 muskets.
A light field (or mountain) muzzleloading cannon is used by US troops. It is supposed to be a 3-inch Ordnance rifle Model 1861 (or at least a replica based on this artillery piece).
