Sharps 1863
To prepare for the attacking Pawnee Indians, Dunbar gives the Sioux indians Sharps rifles, which based on the time are 1863 models.
Dunbar also gives many of the Siouxs Sharps saddlering carbines, also assumed to be the 1863 model. Union soldiers are later seen almost entirely armed with Sharps Carbines in the film, and use them to sadly shoot down Dunbar's pet wolf, Two Socks.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun Muzzleloaders are seen used by some of the Confederate soldiers at the beginning of the film and Timmons (Robert Pastorelli) keeps one at his side while driving Dunbar in his coach. They are noted as muzzle loaders based on the romrod underslung under the barrels.
