John Carter is a 2012 American science fiction film directed by Andrew Stanton, based on the Barsoom novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The film primarily adapts the first novel of the series, A Princess of Mars. This film is one of only two film adaptations of the Barsoom series produced to date, despite decades of attempts to produce a big-budget adaptation. Originally envisioned to be the start of a trilogy, the film ended up being one of the largest box office bombs in cinema history, leading Disney to cancel all future plans.
In 1868, former Confederate States Army captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is transported from Earth to the barren world of Barsoom, known to Carter as Mars. There, he finds himself thrust into the middle of a massive civil war and fights to bring peace to the world along with princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).
The following weapons were used in the film John Carter (2012):
John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is seen pulling a Colt 1851 Navy on a bartender at the film's beginning. Colonel Powell (Bryan Cranston) is also seen holding a Colt.
Colt Dragoon
Carter is also seen holding a Colt Dragoon pistol when facing down an Apache warband. Some Apaches are also seen with these revolvers.
Percussion Shotgun
The bartender attempts to pull a double-barreled Percussion Shotgun from behind his counter before Carter can pull his revolver.
Spencer 1860 Carbine
The Spencer 1860 Carbine is seen in the hands of several of Powell's cavalry troops as well as Apaches.
Springfield Model 1861
An Apache is briefly seen with a Springfield 1861 rifle.
Remington 1866 Derringer
John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) uses a Remington 1866 Derringer at the film's ending.
Wheellock Pistol
Kantos Kan (James Purefoy) and Tardos Mors (Ciarán Hinds) fire Wheellock Pistols during the final battle.
Thark Rifles
Many Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles in many scenes. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, it seems, that's this futusistic rifles were made from Tanegashimas (of course, a modern replicas).
