Young Guns is a 1988 Western starring Emilio Estevez as Billy the Kid, who bands together with several of his fellow ranchers to exact revenge on the landowner who killed their benefactor.
The following guns were used in the film Young Guns:
Colt Lightning 1877
William H. "Billy the Kid" Bonney (Emilio Estevez) starts carrying a Colt Lightning 1877 revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel towards the start of the film, and uses it along with a Single Action Army in some scenes. After killing Sheriff Brady (Danny Kamin), Billy takes his 5 1/2" Lightning and thus wields two Colt Lightning revolvers by the end of the film. The real Billy the Kid carried a Colt Thunderer 1877 revolver in .41 Long Colt, but this is an uncommon blank round so Uberti replicas of Lightnings in .38 Special were used for simplicity.
Single Action Army
All of the Regulators carry at least one Single Action Army as their sidearm. Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez) is also seen using one for the start of the film.
Colt New Service
During the opening credits (shot in original 19th century style film), one of the Regulators is seen firing two Colt New Service revolvers, even though these are highly anachronistic to the era.
Sharps 1874 Cavalary Carbine
Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock (Kiefer Sutherland), the obvious sharpshooter of the Regulators, uses a Sharps 1874 Cavalary Carbine as his long arm in the film.
10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Dirty Steve Stephens (Dermot Mulroney) carries a shortened 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun as his long arm in the film.
Winchester 1873
Several characters in the film are seen using Winchester 1873 saddle ring carbines. Of the Regulators who use the gun, "Dick" Brewer (Charlie Sheen), Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez), and "Charley" Bowdrey (Casey Siemaszko) are of notable mention.
Historians have pointed out that the actual photograph is inconsistent with reality, the loading breech on the rifle is on the wrong side, indicating the "real" picture is a flip copy of the actual photo. this also disproves the left handedness of Billy the Kid as his primary revolver would be on his right hip if the photo was flipped true to put the loading gate back on the right of the rifle. So the fake picture in the movie is actually consistent with history.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifles are also common in the film. Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez) and "Jose" Chavez y Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips) are notably seen using them.
Colt Gatling Gun
The US Army uses a Colt Gatling Gun to kill Alex McSween (Terry O'Quinn), wasting roughly thirty rounds on one man!
Smith & Wesson 3rd Model
While shooting in the town, Dirty Steve Stephens (Dermot Mulroney) fires a Smith & Wesson 3rd Model akimbo with his Single Action Army.
