There are a number of firearms mistakes throughout the film, mainly dealing with muzzle loading cap and ball revolvers being loaded with cartridges. The first part is supposed to take place in 1859, most common revolvers then included the Colt 1849 pocket model, Colt Dragoon, Colt Navy (which are used in the film), all of which are loaded by pouring gunpowder in the cylinders, ramming a ball or conical bullet into cylinder and putting a percussion cap (primer) on the cylinder's nipple. The first cartridge firing revolvers weren't seen until the late 1850s but were almost exclusively made by Smith and Wesson as they had a deal with the patent holder for the bored through cylinder at the time in the United States.
