Factual error: In the final shootout, a man is shot with a shotgun, and the blast comes through a wooden wall. It blows his body clean across an entire street outside the building, and he hits the wall of the building on the other side of that street. This never happens with firearms. No one is ever lifted off their feet, let alone blown across entire streets, etc. Physics declares that for this to happen, the shooter of the gun would have to be blown back with an equal and opposite force.

Factual error: Kevin Costner fires 18 shots from one six shooter revolver, (and those 18 are just those which can actually be seen fired on-screen), during the big shoot-out at the end of the movie. A few more are heard and are implied to be from him - but not shown on screen, because the camera is jumping back and forth to different shooters. And even though he says, (in interviews), that there was a second revolver in his belt, which wasn't shown, that he switched to, he still would have needed a third revolver, even if those implied shots didn't come from him. They show him (during the fanning shot), firing one six gun far more than six times, without taking the camera off him.
