A Bullet for the General (original title El Chuncho, quién sabe? or simply Quién sabe? that means "Who knows?") is a 1966 Italian action movie directed by Damiano Damiani. The story takes place during the Mexican revolution (1910-17).
The following weapons were used in the film A Bullet for the General:
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Single Action Army revolver is used by several characters including El Chuncho (Gian Maria Volonté), most of his men and Mexican Lt. Ferreira (Aldo Sambrell).
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
The personal weapon of Bill Tate (Lou Castel), called "Niño" ("The Kid") by his Mexican comrades in arms, is Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver carries in shoulder holster. Military and Police revolvers are also seen in hands of several Mexican officers. The movie was filmed in Spain so these revolvers can actually be Spanish copies of "Military and Police" (like "Ruby Extra" by Gabilondo, "Alfa" by Armero Especialistas Reunidas and various models by Orbea Hermanos).
Rifles
Spanish Mauser M1893
Most governmental troops and guerrillas are armed with Spanish Mauser M1893 rifles.
Winchester Model 1892
Several of El Chuncho's men are armed with Winchester Model 1892 rifles.
Garate El Tigre
Many of El Chuncho's men are armed with Garate El Tigre rifles. These Spanish copies of the Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine are often seen in Spaghetti Westerns.
Machine guns
Hotchkiss M1914 Machine Gun
Hotchkiss M1914 was captured by El Chuncho's band and used against the governmental troops. This machine gun is most likely the Spanish version in 7x57mm caliber which is historically right because the same model was used during the Mexican Revolution. In one scene El Chuncho correctly said that this machine gun use Mauser cartridges. The process of loading and firing this machine gun is shown very accurate. Maybe this is the best appearance of Hotchkiss M1914 in cinema.
Other weapons
Unidentified grenade
In the scene of attack on fort El Santo (Klaus Kinski) use grenades of "Pineapple" type. It is hard to identify them correctly.
