The following weapons were used in the film Gangs of New York:
A majority of the residents of Civil War era New York all carry small single-shot Boot Pistols for protection.
Percussion Pocket Pistol
When Happy Jack Mulraney (John C. Reilly) chases Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) through the church, he draws a Percussion Pocket Pistol
Based on the barrel look it looks to be a Queen Anne pistol, or if indeed being a pocket pistol, the Liegi derringer.
Colt Model 1849 Pocket Model
While at the theater, an assassin (Bronco Mcloughlin) attempts to kill Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) with a Colt 1849 Pocket Model Revolver.
Elgin Cutlass Pistol
Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) attempts to assassinate Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) by throwing a knife and then pulling an Elgin Cutlass Pistol, only to be impaled by a knife thrown by Cutting
Colt 1851 Navy Revolver
During the Draft Riots, a mob breaks into the residence of Mr. Schermerhorn (David Hemmings) and he in turn uses two Colt 1851 Navy Revolvers to fend them off.
Unknown Colt Cap & Ball Revolver
During the scene where William Tweed (Jim Broadbent) is conversing with Dead Rabbits, Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) appears to have a Colt Cap & Ball Revolver tucked in his waistband, the same gun is seen, during the debate scene.
There is a good possibility that this is the 1849 Pocket Model, that he took off the assassin who tried to kill Bill earlier.
Shotguns
Double Barrel Shotgun
Seen being held by a Ship Captain and William Tweed (Jim Broadbent).
Rifles & Muskets
Joslyn Rifle
During the scene where William Tweed (Jim Broadbent) is conversing with Dead Rabbit supporters, Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz) keeps a Sharps Rifle aimed on him
Springfield Model 1842 Musket
An Irish immigrant is seen being issued a Springfield Model 1842 Musket. This is historically correct, as the Irish Brigade were issued the 1842 Musket until 1864, as it was preferred for its ability to use the "buck and ball" load.
