The Proposition is a 2005 period crime drama set in late nineteenth century Australia. In an attempt to civilize the land, Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) proposes to Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) that if he can find and kill his brother Arthur (Danny Huston), oldest and leader of the Burns Brothers gang, in nine days, he will save his younger brother Mikey (Richard Wilson) from being hanged on Christmas Day.
The following firearms were used in the film The Proposition:
Smith & Wesson Model 320 revolving rifle

He has also likely cut the rifle barrel down to pistol length (as is evident in the fact the the pistol in the film is missing the front sight).
