The following weapons appear in the video game Dead Man's Hand:

Pistols

Remington-Elliot Derringer

The Remington-Elliot Derringer appears in the game as the "Kansas Pepperbox" and is the third selectable handgun. It is the pocket pistol of the game, meaning it works in conjunction with the rifle or shotgun.

After the secondary shot, Tejón grabs the barrel of the Kansas Pepperbox...

...and he opens it, ejecting the already used casings, which due to an error reuses the normal cartridge model.

Next, Tejón insert some new cartridges in the Kansas Pepperbox...

...and closes the barrels.

Tejón lifts his Kansas Pepperbox slightly to observe it for a while.

Volcanic Repeater

The Volcanic Repeater appears in the game as "Huntley Thunder" and is the second selectable handgun. It is inferior to the Peacemaker in damage and accuracy, but superior in rate of fire and ammo capacity- somewhat true to life, as the Rocket Ball ammunition used by Volcanic pistols is notoriously underpowered.

Colt Single Action Army

The Colt Single Action Army appears in the game under its famous nickname, "Peacemaker", it is the first selectable handgun and generally the most reliable. It is incorrectly depicted as having a swing-out cylinder.

Rifles

Colt Model 1855

The Colt Model 1855 appears in the game as the "Lewis Revolving Rifle", it is the second selectable rifle. It is faster to fire than the "Westerner Carbine", but has a smaller ammunition capacity and is much less accurate. It also incorrectly shoots in double-action instead of single-action.

...but stops it abruptly.

Sharps 1859

The Sharps 1859 appears in the game as the "Hawkins Buffalo Rifle". It is the third selectable rifle and, by far, the most powerful, with the drawback of only holding one shot.

Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine

The Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine appears in the game as the "Westerner Carbine" and is the first selectable rifle. It is the most reliable and balanced rifle. For some reason, it can also be used as a sniper rifle, which is somewhat incoherent since it doesn't have a scope modeled. The "Westerner Carbine" is essentially based on a Winchester Model 1892, however, it has a Winchester Model 1886 receiver.

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double-Barreled Shotgun

A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun appears in the game as "Stephens SBS Double Barrel" and is the second selectable shotgun. It is devastating at long and medium range, but quite inefficient at close range. It is advisable to use it in combination with weapons with greater ammunition capacity, such as the "Huntley Thunder" or the "Westerner Carbine". As in most games of its era, the Double-Barreled Shotgun can only fire both barrels at the same time.

Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun

A Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun appears in the game as "Overload Express" and is the third selectable shotgun. It is recommended to only use it at close range, as its short barrel makes it ineffective at killing enemies at medium and long range. As in most games of its era, the Sawed-off Shotgun can only fire both barrels at the same time.

Tejón inspects the right side of his Overload Express.

Marlin Model 1898

The Marlin Model 1898 appears in-game as "Martin Pump Action"; this marks the shotgun's first known video game appearance. It is the only pump-action shotgun in the game, and is the first option in the shotgun menu before a mission. It incorrectly holds 8 rounds in its five-round magazine tube; its alternate fire mode (somehow) allows it to fire a more powerful shot.

Machine Guns

M1874 Gatling Gun

The Gatling Gun appears in "Patt Less Taken". It is used by some Union soldiers and can be used briefly by the player. It has a high rate of fire and infinite ammunition capacity.

Browning M1917A1

The Browning M1917A1 appears in "Revolution!" and in "A bullet for Blanco." In "Revolution!" can be used by the player at some moments and in "A Bullet for Blanco", it is carried by the Mexican Army General. It is the weapon with the highest rate of fire and has an infinite ammunition capacity. In "A Bullet for Blanco", the General of the Mexican Army has the peculiarity of carrying his M1917A1 in his hand without using a tripod.
