Rough Riders was a made for TV movie, released in 1997, starring Tom Berenger as Teddy Roosevelt. It chronicled the history of the Rough Riders, especially their military actions in the Spanish American War.
The following weapons can be seen in Rough Riders:

Used by the Rough Riders for fire support. The script has that the two 1895's are a gift from Lewis Tiffany.Unknown if this is factual. The pair on the show were actually Model 1914 made by Marlin and chambered in 7.62 x 54mmR Russian and supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.
Winchester Model 1895 Rifle
Used by Teddy Roosevelt (Tom Berenger) throughout much of the fighting on Cuba. Hands it to one of his soldiers during the attack up Kettle Hill. The assumption is that the rifle is chambered in 30-40 Krag.In reality the Winchester Model 1895 rifle used in the filming is the personal property of director John Milius (a fan of the 1895 Winchester)and chambered in 35 Winchester.
Winchester Model 1895 Carbine
Used by several of the regiment's officers to include Bucky O'Neill (Sam Elliott). Like the 1895 rifle the assumption is the carbines are also chambered for 30-40 Krag. The pair on the show was chambered in .30-40 Krag and was supplied by Ellis Mercantile.-Phoenixent
Model 1896 Krag-Jorgensen Rifle
Model 1896 Krag-Jorgensen Carbine
Used by most of the Ist Volunteer U.S. Cavalry soldiers (i.e. Rough Riders) in the movie. A few use the Winchester Model 1895 and the cook opts for a double barrel shotgun.
Chilean Model 1895 Mauser - 7x57mm
The show was supplied with Chilean 1895 Mauser rifles in 7x57mm by both Stembridge Gun Rentals and Ellis Mercantile.
Springfield 1879 Trapdoor
Model 1889 Trapdoor
Winchester 1873
Carried by several Rough Riders when first reporting for duty, and by Pablo Espinosa as Frederick Funston.
Three Inch Hotchkiss Mountain Gun
1.65 Inch Hotchkiss Mountain Gun
Colt 1873 Gatling Gun
Colt 1889 Revolver
The Colt New Army and Navy 38 caliber revolver was manufactured from 1889 to approximately 1905. It was also manufactured in different calibers. This was the first successful cylinder swing-out revolver manufactured by an American gun company. This revolver (or versions similar to it) was carried by U.S. forces in Cuba during the Spanish American war to include the Rough RIders.This model is carried by actors in Rough Riders.
Colt Peacemaker
Used by (Tom Berenger) as Teddy Roosevelt. In reality Roosevelt used a 38 caliber double action Colt revolver that had been recovered from the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor after it was sunk (see Colt 1889). But John Milius, the director, wanted him to carry the Peacemaker since Roosevelt is considered to be the "Cowboy President".
Colt 1878 Double Action
Carried by (Gary Busey) as Major General Fighting Joe Wheeler.
Merwin-Hulbert Frontier
Carried by Brad Johnson as Henry Nash while robbing a stagecoach.
Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model
Pablo Espinoza as Frederick Funston dispkays a nickle-plated S&W Russian Model when asked about the Cuban Artillery corps.
Mauser C96 Broomhandle
Used by German military advisors to the Spanish Army as well as Spanish officers.
Krupp 75 mm Mountain Gun
1895 Argentine Maxim Machine Gun
- Rather anachronistically seen, the gun (in the film supposedly provided by German Advisors to the Spanish Army) was supposed to be an 1884 Maxim Prototype gun (the type distributed by Hiram Maxim to warring parties in conflicts like the Transvaal "Boer War"), however historically there is little proof that Maxims were used by the Spaniards in the war.
Remington Model 1889 Double Barreled Shotgun
The regiment's cook Eli (Geoffrey Lewis) carries a cut down Remington Model 1889 double barrel shotgun. Appears to be either 12 gauge or 10 gauge.The 1889 could be had in either gauge.
