The following firearms were used in the film Boxcar Bertha:
While traveling through the South as a gambler, Rake Brown (Barry Primus) keeps a stag-gripped Remington 1866 Derringer as his sidearm. During a scuffle with Joe Cox, Bertha Thompson (Barbara Hershey) takes it from him.
Winchester Model 1897 shotguns are seen primarily in the hands of the McIvers detectives, especially McIver #2 (David Osterhout) although McIver #1 (Victor Argo) uses one when both McIvers blast at the prisoners. Von Morton (Bernie Casey) uses several, picking up another when running out of ammunition, during the film's climax.
Von Morton (Bernie Casey) carries an Remington Model 10 as his main weapon throughout the film, taken from Deputy Sheriff Harvey Hall (Harry Northup) when he escapes from the chain gang.
"Boxcar" Bertha Thompson (Barbara Hershey) carries a Single Action Army as her main sidearm, using it during the chain gang breakout and the first train robbery. Rake Brown (Barry Primus) also uses one during the attempted kidnapping of Sartoris.
Rake Brown (Barry Primus) keeps two nickel Colt Official Police revolvers with white grips throughout the gang's crime spree. After the prison break, he has a blued Official Police with black Colt grips in his waistband.
Bill Shelly (David Carradine) carries a M1911A1 as his main sidearm throughout the film. During one of the payroll robberies, Bertha (Barbara Hershey) carries a nickel-plated M1911A1.
During the film's finale, Bill Shelly (David Carradine) keeps a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a 3" barrel while living in solitude in a shack in the woods.
