Hell on Wheels - Season 2
This show is currently airing. This article or section is for a series that is Ongoing, or currently on the air and thus is a continuous work in progress. |
The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series Hell On Wheels:
In "The Railroad Job" (S2E05), fallen gunmen still holding their revolers. These 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.
Colt 1860 Army
A Colt 1860 Army is used throughout the series. 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 manufactured with a brass frame like the Griswold above.
Sharps 1874
In "Scabs" (S2E04), Bohannon uses a a "long rifle" to shoot a railroad worker tortured by the Sioux. The rifle seen appears to be a Sharps 1874 fitted with a Malcolm-style scope, which is again a problem of dating since the railroad was completed in 1869 and the 1874 model came . . . well . . . later.
Henry 1860
In "Scabs" (S2E04), a Henry rifle is seen used.
Gatling Gun
A Gatling gun is used to defend the bridge in "Blood Moon Rising" (S2E10).
