The Weapon: Colt Walker Pistols/Colt Dragoon Pistols/1849 Colt Pocket Pistol/1860 Army Pistol/Cavalry Sword By Mpopo of Lone Tree, Co
On the television Western, Rawhide, Clint Eastwood played Rowdy Yates, the ramrod or 2nd in command of the cattle drives. In the eight seasons (59-66) it was on the air, Rowdy was known for many things, but using a whip was not one of them.
an Oerlikon 20mm. Wit is one of the smallest caliber cannons in modern armaments. Which by the way in real life is much to weak to knock out 4 tanks as Red claimed to Johnny in the movie. it is also to small a caliber to do what it did in the movie. But that's the movies.
The answer to this depends on where the movies were made. Many of the "Spaghetti Westerns" have horses that have a distinctive Spanish appearance but most do not appear to be purebreds. Films made in the US use horses that are generally of the stock type although some appear to have the more slender build typical of TBs and TB/quarter horse crosses.
The gun depicted in the film was a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, which was in fact the exact same gun that was used for filming. However, there have been rumors that the nearly identical Model's 25 or 57 were used instead, due to lack of availability of the Model 29 itself and that of blank shots (which would have had to have been fabricated by the producers especialy for the 29.) In light of these rumors, it has been backed by several of the film's producers, including its co-writer, that the truly was "the most powerful handgun in the world," the S&W model 29 .44 Magnum. A side note, the handgun has since been surpassed by several later firearms as "the most powerful handgun in the world." Not to say that it couldn't do to one's self what Eastwood famously stated it could.
