Rosewood is a 1997 historical fiction film that depicts the Rosewood massacre of 1923, where a White woman claimed that an African-American man had broken into her house and beat her. Due to the heightened racial tensions going on in Florida at the time, the search for the 'suspect' would turn into a week-long massacre where angry mobs of all-Whites accused African-Americans in Rosewood of hiding the suspect, burned down every African-American owned building in the town, hunted, murdered and lynched unsuspecting and innocent African-Americans that had done nothing wrong.

Rosewood is a 1997 historical drama directed by John Singleton and starred Ving Rhames and Jon Voight. The film was based on the Rosewood massacre of 1923, where a white woman claimed that an African-American man had broken into her house and beat her. Due to the heightened racial tensions going on in Florida at the time, the search for the 'suspect' would turn into a week-long massacre where angry mobs of all-Whites accused African-Americans in Rosewood of hiding the suspect, burned down every African-American owned building in the town, hunted, murdered and lynched unsuspecting and innocent African-Americans that had done nothing wrong.
The following guns were used in the film Rosewood:
Although many are seen throughout the film, one is clearly seen being wielded by Mary Wright (Kathryn Meisle) as she keeps a lynch mob from entering her house when they are searching for African-Americans.
Many citizens of both Rosewood and Sumner carry Winchester Model 1894 Rifles, it is also the preferred gun of both John Wright (Jon Voight) and Duke Purdy (Bruce McGill)
Mann (Ving Rhames) carries two Colt Model 1911 pistols in a double shoulder holster. Considering the time frame of the movie, it is assumed that they are the original model 1911, not the A1 model.
As with most of the guns in the film, numerous characters use and carry Winchester Model 12 shotguns, it is also the primary weapon of Sheriff Walker (Michael Rooker) and Deputy Earl (Jaimz Woolvett).
Jon Wright (Jon Voight) at one point keeps a Colt Official Police Revolver tucked in his waist, but he never gets to fire it. Instead, it is used as substitute counter-ballast pin to fix the train.
When word starts spreading around about Fanny Taylor's assault and the search for the suspected African-American who committed the act, various citizens are shown arming up to join the mobs. One of them is seen loading a Webley Mk.VI revolver.
Throughout the film there many different long guns can be seen being used by random mob thugs, citizens, and townsfolk from the surrounding counties and towns.

Ammo Box
Just for fun really, Sylvester (Don Cheadle) buy some shotgun shells later in the film. Just showing the old shotgun shell box though I'm pretty sure these are not a real brand.
