The Proposition is a 2005 period crime drama set in late nineteenth century Australia. In an attempt to civilize the land, Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) proposes to Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) that if he can find and kill his brother Arthur (Danny Huston), oldest and leader of the Burns Brothers gang, in nine days, he will save his younger brother Mikey (Richard Wilson) from being hanged on Christmas Day.
The following firearms were used in the film The Proposition:
.38 caliber Pocket Top Break
Charlie Burns is armed with a small top break pocket revolver. Judging by the size of the gun in Charlie's hand, it appears to be a five shot .32 or .38 caliber. In certain shots in the film, you can see the approximate size and that it has a square-back trigger guard, though it could have been manufactured by any one of a number of brands making similar guns in the late 1800's/early 1900's. The particular gun used in the film is also missing its front sight, indicating either the part itself is missing or that the barrel was shortened.
Arthur Burns (Danny Huston) is seen carrying a 1872 Colt Open top, not an 1851 Richard-Mason Conversion, note the streamlined style of the barrel assembly, different from that of the 1851 navy barrel assembly
Ruger Vaquero
Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) aims his stainless steel Ruger Vaquero with birdhead ivory grip, 3 1/2" barrel and dovetailed rear sight on top strap.
Parker Hale Enfield 1861 Artillery Carbine
Charlie takes cover from Captain Stanley's posse with a Parker Hale Enfield 1861 Artillery Carbine.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Charlie rides with his Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" in a saddle holster.
