The Man Who Would Be King is a 1975 film adaptation of the 1888 Rudyard Kipling short story. Directed by John Huston, the film is set in late 19th century India and follows two rowdy former NCO's of the British Raj, Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) and Danny Dravot (Sean Connery), who decide to cross the border through the Khyber pass into the region of Kafiristan in Afghanistan to become kings and get rich.
The following weapons were used in the film The Man Who Would Be King:
Martini-Henry
Danny Dravot (Sean Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) smuggle 20 Martini-Henry rifles in order to fight their way to power when they get to Kafiristan. The Rifles are later issued to 20 soldiers of Danny & Peachy's newly trained Army.

Muskets
Muskets are carried by the locals in India and later in particular by a group of travelers who try to rob Danny Dravot (Sean Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine).
Asiatic Musket
Jezail
Miscellaneous
Peachy spits a .577 cartridge he put into his mouth earlier into the campfire, which goes off- giving Peachy and Danny a chance to jump the strangers.
