FWIW - The gunfight scene in 'Open Range' is considered one of the greatest ever on film.

en.wikipedia.org

Robert Duvall is the only actor that Costner had in mind for the role of Boss Spearman. Costner said that if Duvall had turned down the part, he might not have made the movie at all. Duvall accepted the role immediately and Costner gave him top billing. Duvall got bucked off a horse and broke six ribs while practicing his riding for this role. [1]

In particular, the gun fighting scenes were intentionally filmed in giant wide shots and were praised for their intense realism by a number of critics and yet were the reason the film earned an R Rating.
Kevin Carr of FilmThreat.com said on the gun action in Open Range: "After The Matrix redefined action in the late 1990s, every crummy action sequence tries to repeat the power of ' bullet time' often with little success. The action in Open Range is filmed real time, grabbing the audience and showing them that when this kind of stuff happens in real life, it happens faster than you think it would." [8] A review on Moviola stated that the film has "one of the most exciting final gunfights ever filmed". [9] IGN, USA Today, Total Film and Guns & Ammo all also say the shootout scene is one of the best of all time. [1]


The gunfight scene also may be the longest ever filmed.
