Khartoum is a 1966 movie by Basil Dearden starring Charlton Heston as General Charles Gordon and Laurence Olivier as the Mahdi (Muhammad Ahmed). The story is based on the siege of Khartoum during the Mahdist war in 1883-1885.

Enfield Mk II revolvers are used by British and Egyptian officers including General Gordon (Charlton Heston).

The Webley .455 Mk VI revolver is used to ignite the fuse of the mine. It's completely anachronistic because Mk VI was adopted in 1915.
Rifles
Martini-Henry Rifle
Martini-Henry rifles are the main weapon of British and Egyptian soldiers and the Mahdists. It is hard to identify the model used but they are most likely the MkIII.
