The Wild Bunch (1969).



Handguns

Colt M1911/Star Model B

The members of the "Wild Bunch", most notably Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, Lyle Gorch, and Angel, use Colt M1911 pistols. As with many other films made during this time, 9 mm Star Model B pistols were used instead as they were more reliable with blanks. The German government official with Gen. Mapache notes that the "Wild Bunch" are carrying them, noting to tell them that they cannot be acquired legally by private citizens.

Single Action Army

Of the "Wild Bunch", Pike Bishop, Dutch Engstrom, and Tector Gorch keep a Single Action Army as a secondary sidearm. Deke Thornton and the rest of his posse pack SAAs and they seem to be the standard sidearm of the Mexican Army, including Major Zamorra (Jorge Russick). Other anonymous characters use them as well.

Colt New Service

Some of the Mexican soldiers carry Colt New Service revolvers. In both flashbacks, a lawman arresting Thornton and a jealous husband who wounds Pike each use a New Service. Pat Harrigan also keeps one in his waistband.

Rifles & Carbines

Springfield M1903A3

Some of the U.S. Army and Mexican Army soldiers in the film use Springfield M1903A3 rifles. Tector (Ben Johnson) uses one while dressed as an Army corporal and in some scenes after. Coffer (Strother Martin), a member of Thornton's posse, uses one as well, at one point telling one of the other posse members to dig a bullet out of a corpse to see if it is one of his .30-06 rounds. Coffer's M1903A3 is the World War II variant, making it anachronistic for a film taking place between 1913 and 1916. The rifles used on the film were made by National Ordnance.

These are Remington 03A3s, which are indeed WWII guns. For the record the MPM pic is a Remington as well. - Gunmaster45

Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine

Characters on both sides of the law use Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine rifles. Of the "Wild Bunch" itself, Pike, Dutch, Tector, Angel, and Freddie Sykes (Edmond O'Brien) can all be seen using Winchester '92s. Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan) leads his posse with a Model 1892. Some members of the posse, including T.C. (L.Q. Jones) use '92s as well.

Mauser 1912

Some of Mapache's soldiers use Steyr-made Mauser 1912 Short Rifles. These were purchased by Mexico around the time the movie is set.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897

Many of the "Wild Bunch" use Winchester Model 1897 riot shotguns, most notably Pike Bishop (William Holden), Dutch Engstrom (Ernest Borgnine), Lyle Gorch (Warren Oates), and Angel (Jaime Sanchez).

Single Barrel Shotgun

A single barrel shotgun is used by a town resident to shoot one of Pikes gang members in the face. The shotgun has a very long barrel giving the impression that this citizen grabbed his duck gun and tried to help fight the gang.

Machine Gun

Browning M1917

The Wild Bunch steals a .30-06 water-cooled Browning M1917 machine gun and gives it to Mapache "as a gift". Mapache (Emilio Fernandez) fires it wildly when trying to find out how to use it. Later in the film, Pike, Lyle, and Tector each fire it at the Mexicans during the final shootout. This gun is most likely an anachronism as the film takes place during Pershing's time in Mexico, which was before the M1917's development.

Miscellaneous

Dynamite

In one of the most memorable scenes of the movie Thorton and the posse stop on the bridge to shoot at the gang, not realizing that the bridge has been packed with dynamite. Pike tips his hat to Thorton just as the dynamite explodes sending the posse into the river. Later on, Pike remarks that Thorton won’t be on their trail "after riding half a case of dynamite into the river". The stunt men saddled on live horses rode the exploding bridge into the river. The gang also ties dynamite to the wagon full of guns, and threaten to blow up the wagon if the Mexicans attack them or dont pay up. Lyle uses dynamite to play a joke on Skyes.
