Corrected entry: At several points during the film, characters are shown loading brass cartridges into their revolvers. The revolvers shown throughout the film, however, are "cap and ball" models, which were hand loaded and could not be loaded with cartridges. Note the loading levers under the barrels - cartridge revolvers do not have these.

Correction: It was common for cap and ball revolvers to be converted to fire cartridges in the time frame of this movie. Cartridge revolvers from the factory were more prevalent after 1873.

Correction: Cartridge conversions weren't common 'til 1871. Smith and Wesson offered two cartridge revolvers, in .22 and.32, neither of which are portrayed here. The 1860 Henry, predecessor to the Winchester, fired rimfire cartridges, so Carver's rifle is not outrageous. However, all such cartridges were rimfire - Gideon's centerfire cartridges are portrayed a few years prematurely. Carver refers to "shells" - which means artillery projectiles. Any real military man would say "cartridges."

Correction: I have watched the scene where Liam Neeson falls off his horse over and over again, and there is no vehicle or truck far in the background. There is only shimmering light.

Factual error: The movie takes place in 1868, and every guy and his dog are wielding cartridge conversion Army, Navy, and even what appears to be Walker colts. Unfortunately, such conversions were not performed until 1869, after Smith and Wesson's rights to the Rollin White patent expired.

The Kid: How do you write "wife"?
Hayes: Kid, that's W-H-O-R-E. Don't much matter how you spell it, a woman ain't gonna be yours unless you're paying her for the night. You pay her to be sweet to you, kid, that's all. Don't never mix up money and love.
