The ladies of the town often carry short-barreled Nagant M1895 revolvers. This is a custom version with a very short barrel (shorter than the "standard" short Nagant) and grips in Colt DS-style. Supposedly it is the same weapon that was used in Teheran 43.

Machine guns
Goryunov SGM (mocked up as Type 3 Heavy Machine Gun)
During the Comanche attack on the town Harry McQ (Oleg Tabakov) uses a belt-fed machine gun to defend his saloon. This is the Goryunov SGM, mocked up as the Japanese Type 3 heavy machine gun, and equipped with a bipod instead of common mount. Is possibly the same prop, made for Cherez Gobi i Khingan.
Type 3 in real life would actually be unrealistic to encounter in the Wild West, although it can be considered a substitute for a more suitable Hotchkiss MG, on which Type 3 is based.
Goryunov SGM - 7.62x54mm R
For comparison: Type 3 Heavy Machine Gun - 6.5x50mm SR
This weapon is really firing!
