The Single Action Army revolver is prominently used by several characters in the film, most notabley Manco (spanish word meaning "one-handed", referring to the habit of the character of hiding one hand, until he uses it to fire his gun) (Clint Eastwood) aka "The Man With No Name", who once again uses a 5" Artillery model with a color case hardened frame and a silver rattlesnake grip.
While I usually group all the Single Action Armies together, I figured the Buntline Specials deserved their own section due to the infamy of their usage in the film. Colonel Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) makes use of two Buntline Specials, one seen in his saddle bags with a 16" barrel, and the other with a 12" barrel which he fits with a shoulder stock and uses like a carbine rifle. El Indio (Gian Maria Volontè) uses an 8" Buntline as his sidearm in the film as well.
Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) keeps a Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine in his saddle bag and uses it shoot out the outlaw's horse at the begining of the film. Some of El Indio's thugs use them as well.
When one of El Indio's men is insulted by Mortimer, he goes for his gun only to be met by death from Mortimer's blued finish Remington 1866 Derringer he had hidden in his sleeve.
El Indio is seen brandishing a Volcanic rifle in one scene and Monco is seen holding the same Volcanic Rifle on El Indio during the final shootout in the town, when Mortimer and El Indio face off. The rather small-framed Volcanic was something of a predecessor to the 1860 Henry rifle; it fired a very weak .31 or .38 caseless "rocketball" round that, in some ways, was way ahead of its time. I have never seen a Volcanic in any other movie and you will notice that the rifle is never fired during filming.
