J. G. Almay (Michael Covino) carries a nickel plated top-break Smith & Wesson revolver. Strangely, it combines features of various versions of the [[Smith & Wesson Model 3|Model 3]], such as the Model 3 style frame, [[Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model|Russian Model]] or [[Smith & Wesson Schofield|Schofield]] style extractor shroud and frame latch, and the angular rear part of the frame and the grip are similar to the [[Smith & Wesson New Model No.3|New Model No. 3]]. In any case, even the original Model 3 would be too modern a gun for 1870 Texas.

News of the World is a 2020 Western movie directed by Paul Greengrass, based on the 2016 novel by Paulette Jiles, and starring Tom Hanks as Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a former Confederate officer who meets orphaned girl Johanna (Helena Zengel) and accepts responsibility for taking the girl to her relatives.
The following weapons were used in the film News of the World:
Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) carries a Remington 1858 New Army revolver that he receives from his friend Simon Boudlin (Ray McKinnon). The revolver is a cartridge conversion. What appears to be a Remington 1858 is also seen in holster of Cavalry Lieutenant (Tom Astor).
J. G. Almay (Michael Covino) carries a nickel plated top-break Smith & Wesson revolver. Strangely, it combines features of various versions of the Model 3, such as the Model 3 style frame, Russian Model or Schofield style extractor shroud and frame latch, and the angular rear part of the frame and the grip are similar to the New Model No. 3. Exactly the same revolver is seen in Deadwood (2019) which had the same armorer Joey Rocketshoes Dillon. In any case, even the original Model 3 would be too modern a gun for 1870 Texas.
Both of Almay's henchmen, Clay (Clay James) and Cash (Cash Lilley), carry Colt 1851 Navy revolvers. In the climactic scene, Merritt Farley (Thomas Francis Murphy) holds a Colt 1851 Navy.
Almay's henchman Cash (Cash Lilley) is armed with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" carbine. Carbines are also seen in the hands of Mr. Farley's men.
Throughout the movie, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) carries a double barreled Coach Gun. This is a model with exposed hammers and underlever. Such guns were produced by a number of manufacturers, notably English Holland & Holland, Purdey or Greener. The markings one the gun are seen not very clearly, but still allow to guess that this shotgun may be a Holland & Holland. The shotgun shells are originally loaded with birdshot, but Johanna (Helena Zengel) suggests to load the shells with the dimes Kidd earned from his work to make more lethal ammunition. The size of dime coins perfectly fits the 12 gauge.
