6 Guns Barry Van Dyke who is in the leading role). Selina Stevens' (Sage Mears) family is killed by the gang lead by Lee Horn (Geoff Meed , also the screenwriter of the film). Miraculously escaped Selina turns to bounty hunter Frank Allison (Barry Van Dyke ) in teaching her the art of gunfighting to exact the revenge.
The following weapons were used in the film 6 Guns :
Revolvers Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model (.22 caliber) Throughout the movie, Selina Stevens (Sage Mears) uses a Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model revolver with silver Eagle grips that belonged to her husband Will Stevens (Brian Wimmer), a retired Texas sheriff who is killed by the gang. Judging by the size of the muzzle and the cylinder bores, the revolver is chambered in .22 caliber. It can be seen in the movie that even this small caliber gun is too heavy for the actress, and doubtless she wouldn't be able to handle the .45 caliber gun.
