Gimmick Weaponry

Count me out. May be OK in the more lighthearted genre entries, but they are not my favorite SWs. I guess you’re not so happy with it? Historical correctnes is fine with me. But some artistic freedom is also fine with me. And I don’t know if there is a SW made which is entirely historic correct weapon-wise?

I agree. Both Silence’s Mauser pistol and Blondie’s Colt peacmaker are by the way “historically correct", (even if metallic cartridges were not used with the army colt till after the civil war).

As pointed out by #Rutledal on another thread, a mitralleuse, probably Montigny.

Probably weighing more than 300 kg and didn’t come with a belt. But the film wouldn’t be the same with Django dragging a wagon around. The more I think of it, the more I think maybe historical correctness would have been disastrous to SW.
