Rosewood is a 1997 historical fiction film that depicts the Rosewood massacre of 1923, where a White woman claimed that an African-American man had broken into her house and beat her. Due to the heightened racial tensions going on in Florida at the time, the search for the 'suspect' would turn into a week-long massacre where angry mobs of all-Whites accused African-Americans in Rosewood of hiding the suspect, burned down every African-American owned building in the town, hunted, murdered and lynched unsuspecting and innocent African-Americans that had done nothing wrong.

Rosewood is a 1997 historical fiction film that depicts the Rosewood massacre of 1923, where a White woman claimed that an African-American man had broken into her house and beat her. Due to the heightened racial tensions going on in Florida at the time, the search for the 'suspect' would turn into a week-long massacre where angry mobs of all-Whites accused African-Americans in Rosewood of hiding the suspect, burned down every African-American owned building in the town, hunted, murdered and lynched unsuspecting and innocent African-Americans that had done nothing wrong.
The following guns were used in the film Rosewood:
Mann (Ving Rhames) carries Winchester Model 1897 Trench Broom Shotgun as his main firearm. He uses it the most towards the end of the movie from the back of a locomotive.
Although many are seen throughout the film, one is clearly seen being wielded by Mary Wright (Kathryn Meisle) as she keeps a lynch mob from entering her house.
Many citizens of both Rosewood and Sumner carry Winchester Model 1894 Rifles, it is also the preferred gun of both John Wright (Jon Voight) and Duke Purdy (Bruce McGill)
Mann (Ving Rhames) carries two Colt Model 1911 pistols in a double shoulder holster. Considering the time frame of the movie, it is assumed that they are the original model 1911, not the A1 model.
As with most of the guns in the film, numerous person carry Winchester Model 12 shotguns, it is the primary weapon of Sheriff Walker and Deputy Earl (Michael Rooker).
Jon Wright (Jon Voight) at one point keeps a Colt Official Police Revolver tucked in his waist, but he never gets to fire it. Instead, it is used as substitute counter-ballast pin to fix the train.
Throughout the film there many different long guns can be seen

Ammo Box
Just for fun really, Sylvester (Don Cheadle) buy some shotgun shells later in the film. Just showing the old shotgun shell box though I'm pretty sure these are not a real brand.
