We can see several, historically correct vintage firearms in this classic movie, including:
Colt New Army
This revolver, chambered in .38 long colt caliber, was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1892, and it remained in service until it was replaced by the Colt M1911. The round's dismal performance against the Moro tribesmen in the Philippines (as displayed in this movie), forced the Army to re-adopt the 1873 Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt, as a emergency response.
The revolvers used by Gary Cooper and David Niven in the movie, have Stag grips (or, probably, a plastic imitation).
Winchester Model 1897
This pump-action shotgun is prominently displayed in the movie.
Krag-Jørgensen Rifle
Designed in Norway, this rifle, chambered in .30-40 Krag (a.k.a: .30 U.S./.30 Army/.30 Government) was adopted by the US Army. This rifle had a distinctive magazine, that was integral with the receiver, featuring an opening on the right hand side with a hinged cover.
Gatling machine guns
We can see 2 different Gatling machine guns in the movie.
