- I think this is a Colt Revolving Rifle, as you can see hammer on the side of the gun just behind the revolving cylinder, and the rifle itself has to long of a barrel to be an 1858 New Army Carbine, and the scope mount is practically mounted on the hammer, which would make it impossible to shoot, if it was in fact an 1858 New Army Carbine.

Jonah Hex is a 2010 supernatural Western based on a DC Comic and starring Josh Brolin as a scarred bounty hunter who possesses the power to bring people back from the dead. He is asked by President Ulysses S. Grant to try to stop a vengeful ex-Confederate general-turned terrorist (who also is responsible for the death of Hex's family) from destroying the U.S. with a stolen "superweapon."
The following weapons were used in the film Jonah Hex:
Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) carries two Single Action Army Cavalry revolvers as his sidearms. Lilah (Megan Fox) also uses dual Single Action Army revolvers as she and Hex fight to escape Turnbull's Confederate ironclad.
During the opening flashback to Jonah Hex's (Josh Brolin) years with the Confederate Army, Hex is seen wielding what looks like a Colt 1851 Navy from horseback.
Lilah (Megan Fox) keeps a Colt Theur Derringer in her room for protection. She pulls it to get rid of obsessed john Grayden Nash (Rio Hackford), who later sneaks it from its hiding place and fires it at her. Missing once, he puts it to her head and fires again, but she informs him that it is a single-shot weapon.
Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich) carries a LeMat 1861 revolver as his sidearm. He uses during the opening train hijacking as well as to threaten Lilah.
In the imagined fight in Hell between Hex and Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich), Turnbull is seen using dual Remington 1866 Derringers. Hex then picks up one of these and shoots Turnbull twice with it. Lilah (Megan Fox) also poses with the Remington for the theatrical release poster.
One of the guards outside Col. Slocum's fight ring appears to be holding a Winchester Model 1887 shotgun (which is an anachronism when the film is supposed to take place in 1876, the year of the national centennial).

Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle
When Hex is double-crossed in Stunk Crick by the local authorities, a deputy hiding in the church's bell tower tries to snipe him with a Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle.
While on the Confederate ironclad, Jonah also is seen using a flame thrower as well to take a few of Turnbull's men.

The "superweapon" that is the focus of the film's action is a belt-fed Gatling-style cannon (similar to an oversized, clunkier CIWS system) supposedly invented by Eli Whitney (the father of the cotton gin). The weapon is designed to blanket an area with a volley of explosive shells, which are then detonated simultaneously by firing a glowing orange "trigger" shell from the central barrel. Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich) mounts the weapon on an ironclad and plans to use it to level Washington, D.C.
