The following guns were used in the film Night at the Museum:
Winchester 1894
Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) is seen armed with a Winchester 1894 when he first briefs Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) on the museum at night. This gun seems like a strange choice for him to carry on the display, since Teddy Roosevelt was known to have carried two different Winchester rifles for hunting (the Winchester 1876 and the Winchester 1895 "Big Medicine" rifles), and never carried the Winchester 1894. His uniform indicates he is displaying Teddy during the Spanish-American conflict, so he would likely be carrying a Krag-Jørgensen rifle.
Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3
Jedediah (Owen Wilson) carries a pair of Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 revolvers, which he tries to use to shoot Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), but is sad to find they don't work due to the fact he is a come-to-life miniature, and ammunition was never a part of the guns.
Colt 1860 Army
Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) has a holster on his hip which indicates he carries a Colt 1860 Army revolver, even though he wears a Spanish-American conflict uniform, which means he would carry a Colt Single Action Army revolver.
- Actually, Theodore Roosevelt presumably used a Colt M1895 New Navy model in .38 Long Colt, or the M1892 New Navy model. The gun he carried for his famous charge up San Juan hill was actually one that had been salvaged from the armories of the USS Maine. You might remmeber that the armored cruiser USS Maine's explosion was what initiatied the Spanish-American War, along with a fair amount of so-called "Yellow Journalism", and so his carrying a revolver salvaged from the Maine would have been incredibly symbolic.
Civil War rifles
The Union and Confederate soldiers who battle during the night in the museum fire at each other with percussion Civil War era rifles of unknown make. It seems strange that no one can hear the rifles fire at night, since many residential areas surround the Museum of Natural History.
