The [[Colt New Army & Navy]] 38 caliber revolver was manufactured from 1889 to approximately 1905. It was also manufactured in different calibers. This was the first successful cylinder swing-out revolver manufactured by an American gun company. This revolver (or versions similar to it) was carried by U.S. forces through the 1890's to the years just before the United States involvement in World War One (1914-1918). It was replaced by the Colt 1911. U.S.M.C. Capt.

[[Brian Keith]], as Teddy Roosevelt, is shown firing the sporting version of the Winchester 1895 and also admiring a highly engraved Winchester 1895. Roosevelt was a fan of Winchester rifles and the Model 1895 is reported to have been his favorite model. The director, John Milius, is also a fan of the Winchester 1895 and would again have Roosevelt, as played by [[Tom Berenger]], carry the sport version of the 1895 in his movie ''[[Rough Riders]]'' twenty-two years later. In the commentary on the DVD John Milius states that the engraved Winchester seen in the movie was actually a plain jane field model that was painted by a elderly craftsman in Spain - where the movie was filmed. | [[Brian Keith]], as Teddy Roosevelt, is shown firing the sporting version of the Winchester 1895 and also admiring a highly engraved Winchester 1895.

Revision as of 03:30, 8 August 2010
The following guns were seen in The Wind and the Lion
Handguns
C96 Mauser Broomhandle
Used in a memorable scene by German Army Colonel Von Roerkel (Antoine Saint-John). The Colonel is on horseback with a sabre in one hand and the C96 in the other. All the while battling Sheik Raisuli (Sean Connery). Great fun.
Smith & Wesson M&P
Used by United States Ambassador to Morocco Gummere (Geoffrey Lewis). While watching the U.S. Marines marching towards the palace in Tangiers, to seize control of the Moroccan government, he is holding an M&P behind his back. Evidently he doesn't have full confidence in peaceful diplomacy or diplomatic immunity.
Webley Bulldog revolver
A popular style of revolver in the late 19th century with gentlemen. The ancestor of the modern day "snubbie". This style of revolver was made by different companies in Europe and the United States. Used by Eden Pedicaris's British luncheon guest at the beginning of the movie when Raisuli's men attack. The British guest (Billy Williams) pulls out a Webley Bulldog and uses it very effectively - until it runs out of ammo.
The Colt New Army & Navy 38 caliber revolver was manufactured from 1889 to approximately 1905. It was also manufactured in different calibers. This was the first successful cylinder swing-out revolver manufactured by an American gun company. This revolver (or versions similar to it) was carried by U.S. forces through the 1890's to the years just before the United States involvement in World War One (1914-1918). It was replaced by the Colt 1911. U.S.M.C. Capt. Jerome (Steve Kanaly) appears to be carrying a Colt during the assault on the palace in Tangiers and during the battle in the village at the end of the movie.
Rifles
Winchester 1895 rifle
Brian Keith, as Teddy Roosevelt, is shown firing the sporting version of the Winchester 1895 and also admiring a highly engraved Winchester 1895. Roosevelt was a fan of Winchester rifles and the Model 1895 is reported to have been his favorite model. The director, John Milius, is also a fan of the Winchester 1895 and would again have Roosevelt, as played by Tom Berenger, carry the sport version of the 1895 in his movie Rough Riders twenty-two years later. In the commentary on the DVD John Milius states that the engraved Winchester seen in the movie was actually a plain jane field model that was painted by a elderly craftsman in Spain - where the movie was filmed.
U.S. Model 1896 Krag Jorgensen rifle
Used by U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines throughout the movie. Historically inaccurate. In 1904 the Marines and Navy would have been carrying the Winchester-Lee Rifle in 6mm Lee. But the director of the movie, John Milius, has acknowledged this and stated that the production simply couldn't find enough operating Winchester-Lees to use. So the production had to compromise.
U.S. Model 1896 Krag Jorgensen Sporter Rifle
President "Teddy" Roosevelt (Brian Keith) is shown holding a Krag Sporter muzzle down with the safety up locking the striker to the full rear position. - Phoenixent
M24/47 Yugoslavian Mauser Rifle
President "Teddy" Roosevelt (Brian Keith) is shown firing a Mauser on his private firing range. It is also used by some of the Sheik Raisuli's men.
Mauser 1895 Rifle
Sheikh Rausili (Sean Connery) and several of his men carry Mauser 1895 rifles, often decorated Arab-style with brass banded stocks and ornate slings.
Mauser Gewehr 98
The Moroccan German infantry are seen carrying Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles.
Martini Henry rifle
President "Teddy" Roosevelt (Brian Keith) is shown firing what appears to be a "sporterized" Martini-Henry Mk. III on his private firing range. Possibly it's one of the Martini-Henry rifles that were modified by by the British gunsmiths Greener or Rigby.
Swedish Mauser 1894
Many of the German troops in the climactic battle scene are shown wielding historically inaccurate Swedish Model 1894 Mauser carbines. File:M94.jpg
Shotgun
Winchester 1897 Shotgun
Used by U.S. Marines in the movie. Also used (effectively) by Mrs. Pedicaris (Candice Bergen). Carried, but never fired, by Sheik Raisuli (Sean Connery).
Machine guns
Colt 1914 Automatic Machine Gun
The U.S. Navy sailors in the landing party in Tangiers bring an 1895 (historically correct) with them, but never fire it. The director, John Milius, has stated that it was a non-firing mock-up. The production was unable to locate a Model 1895 that was functioning. Twenty-two years later Milius would have two functioning Colt 1914 Machine Guns in Rough Riders.
The weapon is a Colt 1914 Automatic Machine Gun which is similar to the 1895 except the 1914 has a finned barrel and the 1895 does not. - Phoenixent
Maxim Machine Gun
The story takes place in 1904 so the use of the German Model 1908 Maxim is inaccurate, but the Maxim machine gun was invented in the 1880's so it's more nit-picking than anything else.
