The Magnificent Seven is the 1960 classic Western directed by John Sturges that was in turn based upon Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. The film would inspire three sequels as well as a 1990's television series. Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn would reunite for director Sturges in 1963's The Great Escape.
The following weapons were used in the film The Magnificent Seven:
Single Action Army
The Seven, which includes Chris Adams (Yul Brynner), Vin (Steve McQueen), Bernardo O'Reilly (Charles Bronson), Lee (Robert Vaughn), Harry Luck (Brad Dexter), Britt (James Coburn) and Chico (Horst Buchholz) all use various models of the Single Action Army revolvers in the film.
SAA Artillery
The Artillery model is the most prevalent handgun used in the film. Both Chris (Yul Brynner) and Vin (Steve McQueen) are seen carrying Artillery models in addition to their other revolvers. Britt (James Coburn) uses one to shoot a man off a horse from an impossible distance, Chico says: That's the greatest shot I've ever seen! to which Britt replies The worst; I was aiming for the horse.
SAA Cavalry
Vin (Steve McQueen) also carries a Cavalry model as his sidearm.
SAA Quickdraw
Calvera (Eli Wallach) also a Quickdraw model in the film, most notably to shoot a Farmer charging him and during the two shootouts. The Farmers are also seen taught to use Single Action Armys by Britt and Vinn. The man that challenges Britt to a duel shoots at Britts feet before being stuck by Britt's switchblade. Calvera's men are seen with Single Action Army revolvers as well.
Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3
A Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 is used in training.
Colt Model 1878 Shotgun
At the start of the film, Vinn (Steve McQueen) uses a Colt Model 1878 while riding shotgun on the hearse.
J. Stevens and Company Side by Side 12 Gauge Shotgun
One of the men at the graveyard is armed with a Side by Side Shotgun.
Winchester Model 1892
Calvera's men use 1892 Winchester rifles in the movie. 2 are taken off the 3 that are killed mid-movie which the farmers use to train. Harry (Brad Dexter), Bernardo (Charles Bronson) and Chris (Yul Brynner) each show the farmers how to use the rifle. Chris, Bernardo and Chico (Horst Buchholz) all use Winchester rifles during the final showdown. In a promotional image where the Seven are lined up with their guns, Chris, Chico, Bernardo and Harry have Winchester rifles, everyone else has an SAA.
