The Last Samurai
The following guns were used in the film The Last Samurai
Winchester 1876

Colt 1860 Army Richards-Mason Conversion
Nathan Agren (Tom Cruise) uses a Colt 1860 Army revolver, converted for use with metallic cartridges, while training Japan's army.

Springfield Model 1861
The Imperial Army of Japan uses Springfield Model 1861 muzzle-loading rifles as their standard issued weapons during the fog battle. Unlike many muzzle-loaders, some of these guns appear to be able to fire two shots before having to reload, all though this could be incorrect.
Mauser M1871/84
In the second half of the movie, the Japanese Imperial Army carries German bolt-action Mauser M1871/84 rifles, in spite of the fact they were supposedly being armed by the US.
Howitzer
The Imperial Army is shown training with Howitzers after Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) comes back from being with the samurai for a few months. The Howitzers are later used in the final battle scene.
Gatling Gun
The Imperial Army uses Gatling Guns to slaughter the remaining samurai in the final charge scene. According to Colonel Bagley (Tony Goldwyn), these guns can fire two hundred rounds a minute, and their new catridges have cut down on jamming.
