Weaponry anachronism in movies

In Movies..who says you have to have the right period equipment to tell a story????
After all unless there were those in the audience who were either there or were scholars who care...why should audience care about facts!! after all in the movies the charcther is only killed off when the audience wants him to be...or Not {I once saw a alternative movie ending clip in which the gangster heros are killed Off....but wasnt used because the audience didnt like it!}
Indeed I woudlnt be suprized if in a war of the Spanish AMerican War of 1898..the guns used are from the War OF 1812..after all both these wars occured in the 19th Century...RIGHT RIGHT??
