If I remember right I think I saw some guards using the Winchester auto 401 . I'm not sure what the proper model name is or even if I have the cartridge right. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. I can remember reading an article somewhere about a rebuild on one and in the article the author said that the win auto was used by prison guards. There are some great guns in the movie and it looks from my untrained eye that they tried to get it right.

The Winchester autoloader was a model 1907 in .351 Winchester Self-loading. It was the 1910 which was in the .401 WSL. I think both models were used by some police, guards, thugs of the period, etc.
