Single Action Army
Several characters in the film are seen using Single Action Army revolvers, including Sheriff Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman ) and English Bob (Richard Harris ).

Both afraid and inexperienced, Beauchamp decides to give the gun to Bob instead. Bob declines, which proves to be a smart choice because Bill had the gun loaded with the next chamber empty.

The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett ) is also seen with a '92 rifle and uses it to shoot at Will and Ned before they reveal who they are.

W. Richards 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
William Munny uses a 10 Gauge Double Barreled shotgun with most of the finish worn off as his long arm in the film. He most notably uses it at the end to shoot Skinny Dubois (Anthony James ) in his saloon for displaying Ned's dead body outside. He attempts to shoot Little Bill with the gun, but it misfires, likely from getting wet in the rain, so he throws it at Bill, giving him enough time to draw his Schofield.
