Van Helsing
The following guns were used in the film Van Helsing:
Custom Revolvers
Gabriel Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) uses two custom revolvers as his sidearms in the film. They appear to be completely fictional but bear resemblance to a Webley-Fosbery .455 "automatic" revolver. If anyone who worked on the film has information on these props, please share it. Like many props, it is assumed they are plastic shells covering Taurus Model 85 revolvers.
Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3
Velkan Valerious (Will Kemp) uses a nickel Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 loaded with silver bullets during the scene where he and his men try to capture the Wolfman.
Special
Springfield 1879 Trapdoor
Velkan's men firing at the Wolfman use Springfield 1879 Trapdoor rifles but since the rounds aren't silver, the guns have no effect.
Colt Gatling Gun
One of the men in the invention room under the church (which is strangely similair to the gadget room in the 007 films) is seen testing a Colt Gatling Gun with a fiction "O" drum magazine. Firing a gun inside is not smart, especially in a room with all the other workers.
Colt variant of Browning M1917
A Colt version of the Browning M1917 water-cooled machine gun is seen in the church, hence the spade grips. This gun is anachronistic for 1881 by a lot.
Remington 870 (mocked up)
Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) uses a Remington 870 sawed-off and made to look like more of a wheel-lock pistol based on the shape of the stock. The gun is dressed up to look more "gothic" for the film by adding little insignias on it as well. Pump action shotguns had not been invented yet in 1881 but it can be assumed the gun is meant to be a complete invention of the church.
