Also take note of the fact that in this screenshot, Amsterdam is no longer played by Leonardo DiCaprio; the actor playing Amsterdam here is in fact a Chinese man wearing white make up.]]

During the Theatre Scene an Assassin (Bronco Mcloughlin) attempts to kill Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) with a Colt 1849 Pocket Model Revolver
Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) attempts to assassinate Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) by throwing a knife and then pulling an Elgin Cutlass Pistol, only to be impaled by a knife thrown by Cutting
During the scene where William Tweed (Jim Broadbent) is conversing with Dead Rabbit supporters, Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz) keeps a Sharps Rifle aimed on him
An Irish imigrant is seen being issued a Springfield Model 1842 Musket. This is historically correct, as the Irish Brigade were issued the 1842 Musket until 1864, as it was preferred for it's ability to use the "buck and ball" load.
Some US Army troops are seen carrying Enfield Pattern 1853 rifles, which were commonly issued to Union regiments. They would not, however, have been used side-by-side with Springfields in the same unit.
During the scene where William Tweed (Jim Broadbent) is conversing with Dead Rabbits, Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) appears to have a Colt Cap & Ball Revolver tucked in his waistband, the same gun is seen, during the debate scene.
There is a good possibility that this is the 1849 Pocket Model, that he took off the assassin who tried to kill Bill earlier. It would make sense, since he was the last person who had it after the failed assassination.
