The following guns were used in the film Appaloosa:
Appaloosa (2008) (note that the cylinder notches on Ed Harris' Single Action Army are larger than on an actual version, indicating it is a replica non-firing model)
Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) carries an 8 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in the film, refered to only as "The 8 Gauge" in the dialogue. To handle the vicious recoil of the massive weapon, Everett has a leather pad build into the shoulder of his coat to help absorb it. Since the only existing 8 Gauges today are antiques and are unsafe or too expensive to fire, a genius alternative was made. Armorer and gunsmith Steve Karnes built three "8 Gauges" for Gibbons Ltd. out of reproduction Colt 1878 shotguns, two of which fired 12 Gauge blanks with 8 Gauge sleeves over the barrels to increase the bore diameter and hide its real caliber, while one was built to chamber 8 Gauge inert rounds for scenes in which the gun was loaded, as the size between 8 and 12 Gauge is far too different for no one to notice. To see more on the production of the shotguns, visit the SK 1878 shotgun page, with actual information and images by Steve Karnes.
Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) carries a Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" as his rifle in the film. Sheriff Clyde Stringer (Rex Linn) carries one while escorting Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons) on the train. One of the Apaches is seen using one with tribal decorations as well.
One of the Apache Indians is seen using a Sharps Carbine of unknown year. It is never seen clearly in the actual film, but luckily is seen in the DVD special features.
One of the Apache Indians is seen using a Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine of unknown year. It is never seen clearly in the actual film, but luckily is seen in the DVD special features.
Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) carries two Single Action Army revolvers in the film, his main being a 7 1/2" Cavalary model with Stag horn grips and his belt gun a 5 1/2" Artillery. Many other characters use them in the film as well.
