Zulu (1964)

Martini-Henry .577-450

Used by all of the British soldiers throughout the film. The Zulus sometimes use them as well, and dozens of Zulu snipers in the hills fire down on the British (the Zulus aren't very good shots, and one British soldier is wounded and two others are killed).

Martini-Henry Rifles in "Zulu"

Webley Mark VI .455 Revolver

Used by the officers in the film in place of the Adams Mk.III revolvers actually used in the real battle due to lack of any functional models existing for use in the film. Bromhead is seen loading one before the battle starts and fires it at the Zulus in the mountains at long range (which wouldn't be very smart). Bromhead runs out of bullets for his Webley and uses a Martini-Henry until a soldier gives him another Webley which he uses for the rest of the film. Chard only uses his Webley when neccessary, such as when using it to shoot several Zulus attacking the hospital after running out of bullets for his Martini-Henry.
