The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series Hell on Wheels:
Handguns
Colt 1860 Army
Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) continues to use a Colt 1860 Army as his primary sidearm in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01) as he did for much of the first season. However, after he is captured, and subsequently released by the US Army, he switches to a Remington 1858 New Army for the remainder of the season. Some of the former Confederate soldiers-turned-train-robbers also use the Colt 1860 Army, including Hawkins (Ryan Robbins). US Cavalry soldiers also use the Colt 1860 Army revolver during the season. Gregory Toole (Duncan Ollerenshaw) also uses a one in "Blood Moon" (S2E09). The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not originally manufactured with a brass frame.
Colt 1860 (Richards-Mason Conversion)
Elam Ferguson (Common) carries a Colt 1860 (Richards-Mason Conversion) revolver with an 8" barrel as his sidearm throughout the season. Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott) also uses Elam's revolver to defend against attacking Sioux warriors in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10). The Richards-Mason Conversion revolver is the most common loading gate conversion for the Colt 1860 Army. Is noted from Richards conversion by sights located on hammer, much like the original design.
Remington 1858 New Army
Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) starts carrying a Remington 1858 New Army as his primary sidearm in "Slaughterhouse" (S2E03). Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott) also uses one in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10).
Several people use Colt 1851 Navy revolver during the season. Hawkins' (Ryan Robbins) gang members use Colt 1851 Navy revolvers in "The Railroad Job" (S2E05). Most of the revolvers in the series appear to be brass-framed copies of the Colt 1851 Navy revolver, which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s.
Remington 1858 Pocket
A man fires a Remington 1858 Pocket revolver at charging Sioux warriors in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10).
Allen & Thurber Pepperbox
Doc Whitehead (Grainger Hines) tries to use Durant's Allen & Thurber Pepperbox revoler in "Purged Away With Blood" (S2E06).
Rifles
Winchester 1866 "Yellowboy"
The Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifle is used by many characters throughout the series, and Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) carries one on his saddle throughout the season. Elam Ferguson (Common) also keeps a Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" at his home. Reverend Nathaniel Cole (Tom Noonan) also supplies Sioux warriors with Winchesters in "Purged Away With Blood" (S2E06).
Sharps 1874
Cullen Bohannon uses a Sharps 1874 rifle fitted with a Malcolm-style scope in "Scabs" (S2E04) to shoot a railroad worker who's being tortured by the Sioux. The rifle is a bit of anachronism, since the season takes place in 1866, and the Sharps rifle was available after 1874.
Henry 1860
In "Scabs" (S2E04), a Henry rifle is seen used.
Machine Guns
Gatling Gun
A Gatling gun is used to defend the bridge in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10).
