The following weapons were used in the film Once Upon a Time in the West :

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cheyenne takes Harmonica's blued 5" Artillery SAA and rolls it to him. Harmonica declines Cheyenne's challenge. This revolver has an extremely small bore despite the large bore chambers in .44 or .45; the barrel also lacks a front sight and is probably aluminum. The gun is likely a dedicated blank-firing fast draw competition gun and, given Harmonica's method of firing it, may be modified internally to be "fanned."

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Frank uses his nickel 7.5" Cavalry model Single Action Army to murder a young boy in cold blood.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Frank points his SAA at at Harmonica when he attempts to sneak on the train. This revolver would shoot very high as the front sight has been lowered and rounded; factory 1873 revolvers are seen with high front sights due to the "dwell time" of heavy .44WCF and .45 Colt bullets.

Winchester Model 1892 "Mare's Leg"
Stoney (Woody Strode ) uses a sawed down Winchester Model 1892 rifle, nicknamed "Mare's Leg" as his weapon of choice. The gun has a trigger pin attached to the lever for rapid fire, meaning he uses it more as a quick draw gun than for accuracy.
