American Outlaws

American Outlaws is a 2001 American western directed by Les Mayfield which is loosely based on the James-Younger-Gang. When the sons of the James and Younger families return to their farms in Missouri after the end of the Civil War, the next enemy is already waiting for them in the form of railroad tycoon Rains and his Pinkerton henchmen. After one provocation too many, Jesse James takes command and leads his childhood friends into a seemingly hopeless guerrilla battle against the sheriff, the state, and big business.
__TOC__
=Revolvers=
==Colt 1851 Navy Percussion==
Jesse James (Colin Farrell) carries two Colt 1851 Navy revolvers throughout the film, even carrying four in the opening battle when he fires akimbo from a horse with the reins in his teeth. Cole Younger (Scott Caan) and Bob Younger (Will McCormack) also use a Navy '51s during the opening battle. The soldiers on the train transporting Jesse to prison at the end also have Navys. All have been converted to fire metal cartridges but still have the loading lever to look like a percussion revolver.
==Colt 1849 Pocket (Wells Fargo Model)==
Jesse James (Colin Farrell) draws two cartridge-converted Colt 1849 Pocket Wells Fargo Model revolvers on the Pinkertons who show up on his farm. They are clearly Wells Fargo Models as they lack loading levers.
==Colt 1860 Army (with sawn barrel)==
Frank James (Gabriel Macht) brandishes two Colt 1860 Army revolvers that have been cut down in size to resemble "Pocket Model" belly guns during the Hyperion robbery. 
==Colt 1851 Navy (with Richards-Mason cartridge conversion)==
Cole Younger (Scott Caan), Frank James (Gabriel Macht), Bob Younger (Will McCormack), Jim Younger (Gregory Smith), and Clell Miller (Ty O'Neal) use Colt 1851 Navy revolvers with a Richards-Mason conversion to fire metallic cartridges. Allan Pinkerton (Timothy Dalton), the gang's pursuer, also carries one that Jesse James (Colin Farrell) disarms him over in the final scene.
==Colt 1860 Army==
One of the soldiers on the train transporting Jesse James to prison has a Colt 1860 Army.
==Colt 1860 Army (with Richards-Mason cartridge conversion)==
Bob Younger (Will McCormack) uses a Colt 1860 Army converted to fire metallic cartridges in several scenes.
=Shotguns=
==Double-barreled Shotgun==
Cole Younger (Scott Caan) uses an exposed hammer 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun during the gang's bank robberies. Several lawmen and vigilantes also carry shotguns.
=Rifles=
==Henry Model 1860==
Frank James (Gabriel Macht) uses a Henry 1860 throughout the film.
==Enfield Pattern 1853==
Some Confederate and Union troops are armed with Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle muskets.
==Springfield Model 1861==
All of the Union soldiers in the film can be seen using Springfield 1861 rifles. At one point, Jesse James (Colin Farrell) disarms a soldier of his Springfield, using it against him.
==Springfield Model 1842==
Various Confederate and Union soldiers are seen with Springfield Model 1842 smoothbore muskets.
==Winchester Model 1866==
The Pinkerton agents that surround the Hyperion Bank use Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" Rifles when shooting at the James-Younger Gang.
=Other=
==Model 1874 Gatling Gun==
The Union soldiers fire a Gatling Gun at the Confederate mercenaries. It is anachronistic for the Civil War era since Gatling guns were developed in 1861 and patented on November 4, 1862 while the later M1874 didn't exist at that time. The first combat usage of the early M1862 Type II Gatling Guns was at the Siege of Petersburg.
==M1841 6-Pounder Field Gun==
What appears to be an M1841 6-pounder field gun is deployed by the Union soldiers. Most likely, the same cannon is used by Zerelda "Zee" Mimms (Ali Larter) to disable a locomotive at the film's climax.
