Jack and Nodody's guns

If this movie takes place in the late 1800's to early 1900's why are Jack (fonda) and Nobody (Hill) using old outdated model colt revolvers (1851 navy's I belive, which were made before the civil war). Also, at the end why do the wild bunch explode when jack shoots at them. I admit i havent seen the whole movie so there may be another scene explaining this, but id appreciate it is somebody cleared this up.

two kinds of people in the world,those with loaded guns and those who dig...you dig.

The Wild Bunch intended robbing the train. The dynamite would likely have been used for the safe.

This is to all those who try to get round the fact that the guns are outdated:

Ever considered, that the filmmakers are quite smart and witty and tried to make a statement here?

This is a goodbye to the old western. So everything is outdated, dirty, obsolete. Like the guns.

Symbols, my fellow film friends. Learn to understand them and get an extra kick out of the flick.
