Revision as of 22:50, 21 October 2008
The following guns were used in the film Silverado:
Single Action Army
The gun used mostly by just about everyone in the film is the Single Action Army revolver in the various barrel lengths and calibers. Many look to be in far too good condition to be the guns of Frontiersman and have obviously newer color case hardening as evident by the fact it isn't worn in the slightest. Back during that day, they used Cyanide to color case harden, unaware how unsafe it was to use. Today, more conventional and longer lasting methods are used. It is likely these guns were supplied by Aldo Uberti Inc., a major 19th century firearms company today. Do to the extreme frequence of these guns in the film, there are a lot of screenshots for them.
