The following weapons are used in Dances With Wolves
Lt. John J. Dunbar (Kevin Costner) keeps a Colt 1851 Navy as his sidearm throughout the film. It is actually converted to fire metallic cartridges which is safer then using blanks on a percussion revolver. Also seen in the hands of some high ranking Union officers.
Lt. John J. Dunbar (Kevin Costner) keeps a polished brass frame Henry 1860 rifle, or as the Rebels called it, "That damned Yankee rifle you load on sunday and shoot all week", as his main weapon of choice throughout the film.
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 ramrod underslung under the barrels.
