Duck! You Sucker! is a 1971 Western directed by Sergio Leone and starring James Coburn as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico to only find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title. However, it was subsequently re-released under the title A Fistful of Dynamite in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title.
The following weapons were used in the film Duck, You Sucker! aka A Fistful of Dynamite:
Single Action Army
Juan (Rod Steiger) uses a Single Action Army Long Barrel throughout the film, most notably to threaten John. It is also used by revolutionaries and the soldiers.
Steyr M1912
A Mexican police officer with a Steyr 1912 tries to arrest Juan after he sees him kill his comrade.
Browning Hi Power
A Browning Hi-Power pistol is seen taken by John (James Coburn) from the Mexican governor. This is an anachronism, since the HP was introduced in 1935, and this film takes place in 1913.
Winchester Model 1894
The Winchester Model 1894 is Used by Mexican revolutionaries, as well as Juan's children.
12 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun
Mauser M43
Mexican troops can be seen carrying Spanish Mauser M1943 rifles throughout the film, likely as it was filmed in Spain. The M43 is likely meant to stand in for the Steyr-made M1912 short rifle used during the Mexican revolution.
MG42
John uses an MG42 machine gun with a removed stock to fire upon Ruiz's army column while they're on the bridge to great effect. However, this is an anachronism, since the MG42 was introduced in 1942, and this film takes place in 1913, 29 years earlier.
Maxim MG08
Juan uses a Maxim MG08 machine gun alongside John during the canyon battle. When John gives him the command to fire, the weapon does not. He tries to tell John, but then it goes off and surprises him. When he regains control, he uses it to great effect. The weapon is also used in the film by revolutionaries and Mexican soldiers. Also used in Ruiz's armored car.
