Harmonica declines Cheyenne's challenge. This revolver has an extremely small bore despite the large bore chambers in .44 or .45; the barrel also lacks a front sight and is probably aluminum. The gun is likely a dedicated blank-firing fast draw competition gun and, given Harmonica's method of firing it, may be modified internally to be "fanned."Error creating thumbnail: File missingSnakey (Jack Elam) plays with his SAA while waiting for Harmonica's (Charles Bronson) train to arrive.

Winchester Model 1892 "Mare's Leg"
Stoney (Woody Strode) uses a sawed down Winchester Model 1892 rifle, nicknamed "Mare's Leg" as his weapon of choice. The gun has a trigger pin attached to the lever for rapid fire, meaning he uses it more as a quick draw gun than for accuracy. Aside from dramatic effect, the automatic fire pin serves no purpose in the film because the gun is fired only once by "slipping" the hammer.
The father (Frank Wolff) is seen using a Double Barreled Percussion Shotgun to shoot quail with his son. It is noted as a black powder shotgun based on the ram rod positioned under the barrel. Jill McBain (Claudia Cardinale) is also seen using the Side-by-side black-powder, and uses it to fire a shot a torch wielding assassin in the dark.
