Independent Movie Firearm Database question

How would I go about finding the oldest movie that has a page there?

I tried Googling the question but nothing useful came up.

Also, like TV Tropes, this site is not one that is easy to escape from. So many guns, so many movies...

Couldn't tell you how to find it using their search function, but I happened to remember that The Great Train Robbery is one of the oldest movies, and since it involved guns...

The Great Train Robbery is the 1903 short film that is widely considered the movie that began the motion picture industry. The film depicted an outlaw gang robbing a train and was one of the first to use the motion picture medium and editing techniques to actually tell a story. It is currently the oldest film documented on IMFDB.

Cool, thanks. I was hoping there would be something from the late 1800s.

It would be nice to be able to sort films by date that way you could watch the progression of guns being used in movies as they were invented.

It took 17 years for the 1911 to show up in a movie. In John Wayne's hand, of course. Oddly, in that same year a Soviet movie featured them heavily.
