It was probably just a prop, but in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Blondie shoots what appears to be a Whitworth Rifle at Tico as he was fleeing on horseback.
Not only that, it has special hexagonal rifling which makes it a "whitworth" rifle (also a term for rifled artillery of the period, used to distinguish it from smoothbore pieces).
The Scituate Historical Society in Massachusetts has an original 12 pounder whitworth that belonged to the local G.A.R. Post. The SHS is currently researching and planning to restore the tube.
Take that modern machinery!

Are you sure that isn't a 12lb. US Wiard or a 12lb. Blakely. The piece is hard to see in its entirety in the video.
