Pharaoh's Army is a 1995 Western movie directed, written, and produced by Robby Henson, and starring Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, and Kris Kristofferson. During the American Civil War, a small unit of Union troops under the command of Captain John Hull Abston (Cooper) is sent to gather supplies from Kentucky farmers who support the Confederacy. The soldiers arrive at the homestead of Sarah Anders (Clarkson,) who lives with her teenage son while her husband is a Confederate soldier.


The following weapons were used in the film Pharaoh's Army:


Revolvers

Remington 1858 New Army

Captain John Hull Abston (Chris Cooper) and his four men, Corp. Neely (Frank Clem) and Pvts. Chicago (Robert Joy), Rodie (Richard Tyson), and Newt (Huckleberry Fox), carry Remington 1858 New Army revolvers. Capt. Abston and Chicago have blued revolvers, while the three other men have revolvers with brass frames. It should be noted that no brass framed Remingtons were ever manufactured in the 19th century. The guns used in this film are modern, unauthentic creations by Italian replica manufacturers such as Pietta.

Rifles and Muskets

Springfield 1863

Rodie and Neely carry Springfield 1863 rifled muskets. A Springfield 1863 is also one of the guns used by the sniper. As the movie is set in 1862, these guns are slightly anachronistic.

Rodie carries the Springfield 1863 attached to his saddle. Such way of carrying of a long infantry rifle would definitely lead to the clogging of the muzzle. Neely carries his rifle on sling at the background.
