[Image] GUNS [Days of Heaven] Both Bill and the Farmer hunt birds with guns. The Farmer goes after Bill with a pistol when he mistakenly thinks that Bill and Abby are still having an affair. [The Thin Red Line] Both American and Japanese soldiers carry rifles. Doll steals a pistol while in the transport to the island. Doll later uses that pistol to fire at the Japanese in their bunker. The Japanese at the top of Hill 210 have a machine gun trained down below. [Badlands] 
Kit carries a pistol in his belt when he enters Holly's house to take her away (this is also the first time we see him with a gun). He runs with a rifle in his hand at the camp site. He sleeps with a pistol in the tree house (interestingly, it is aimed at Holly). He shoots a pistol into the river, presumably at fish. He holds a rifle propped behind his head, with his arms akimbo slung up around it, while looking at the horizon. He holds a rifle while he throws a tantrum after killing Cato and stashing the body in a shed.
