Rooster Cogburn is the 1975 sequel to the original True Grit (1969). John Wayne returns to the role of Deputy US Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn, who is accompanied by a woman (Katharine Hepburn) whose father was killed by outlaws as they both try to recover a shipment of nitroglycerin. The film also goes by the alternate title Rooster Cogburn (... and the Lady).
The following weapons were used in the film Rooster Cogburn (1975):
Colt Single Action Army
As in True Grit (1969), Deputy US Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn (John Wayne) carries a Single Action Army revolver with a 4 3/4 inch barrel and ivory grips. He is seen using the revolver notably in a shootout with a gang of outlaws in a hideout at the beginning of the film.
Winchester 1892 "Saddle Ring Carbine"
Rooster once again carries the Winchester 1892 "Saddle Ring Carbine" with a large lever loop chambered in .44-40 as his rifle of choice throughout the film.
Winchester Model 1894
Winchester Model 1894 rifles are seen used by several of the outlaws to include Hawk (Richard Jordan) and| Eula Goodnight (Katharine Hepburn).
Pepperbox revolver
Rooster keeps what he describes as a ".22 pepperbox" as a backup to his SAA, which he gives to Wolf (Richard Romancito) to protect himself and Miss Goodnight. This may be a .36 cal instead of a .22.
Colt 1874 Gatling Gun
Both Eula and Rooster are seen using a captured Colt 1874 Gatling Gun mounted on a tripod. Eula uses it to pin down some outlaws and Rooster uses it notably on the raft while traveling down river with the nitroglycerin. The rate of fire heard from the Gatling gun make it sound more like a Browning M1919 machine gun.
