The Kentucky Flintlock Rifle is prominently seen in the hands of the defenders of The Alamo, and is the only identifiable flintlock rifle used in the film.
crocketts "Kentucky" rifle looks more like a flint lock hawken rifle with that half stock for the foregrip
French 1766 Charleville Infantry Muskets
Flintlock Pistol
Officers in the film keep dress officer's Flintlock Pistols in cross draw holsters throughout the film. Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) holds a smaller model on Colonel Davy Crockett (John Wayne) before he takes it from him. Bowie is also seen wielding two pistols during the last stand. Colonel William Travis (Laurence Harvey) also wields one during the fighting.
Nock Gun
Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) carries a 7-barreled Nock Gun as his main weapon in the film.
Trapdoor Springfield 1873
Some soldiers defending The Alamo use Trapdoor Springfield 1873 rifles mocked up as flintlock rifles, likely due to the ease of using metallic blanks cartridges instead of blank shot.
