Best Answer

The gun depicted in the film was a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, which was in fact the exact same gun that was used for filming. However, there have been rumors that the nearly identical Model's 25 or 57 were used instead, due to lack of availability of the Model 29 itself and that of blank shots (which would have had to have been fabricated by the producers especialy for the 29.) In light of these rumors, it has been backed by several of the film's producers, including its co-writer, that the truly was "the most powerful handgun in the world," the S&W model 29 .44 Magnum. A side note, the handgun has since been surpassed by several later firearms as "the most powerful handgun in the world." Not to say that it couldn't do to one's self what Eastwood famously stated it could.

What kind of hat does Clint Eastwood wear in Unforgiven?

The majority of Eastwood's iconic costume from the Dollars Trilogy was bought second hand, so finding any sort of "brand" is more or less impossible. The hat's distinguishing features are its high telescope crown and slightly curled, bound brim. Also central to the hat's look was its leather band. Reproductions of these items can be purchased from various hat makers online, but will set you back a bit. the cheapest one I've found still runs over 100 dollars, with most costing around $200-$400.

What was the type of plane in the movie Firefox?

The supersonic fighter in the Clint Eastwood movie, "Firefox", was fantasy. It was supposed to be a new Russian super-sonic fighter that could fly faster than any jet of that time. The movie was pure fiction and not based on any actual events. The aircraft is called a MiG-31 - it was a speculative design based on available knowledge of stealth aircraft design.
