It is very possible I am mixing up a couple of movies from my childhood in my memory but I am trying to identify one or maybe 2 movies I remember seeing as a child.
I would have seen the movies some time between 1992 and 1994 on VHS. It had an american cast and was set in America.
The key aspects I remember where Time Travel with a villain attempting to change the past. Something also made peoples heads explode it may have been the villain or something he attached to people he may also have been able to control thoughts. I am pretty sure an early plot point was a Historian looking at a picture from the wild west and seeing a man with a gun that was far to modern for the age of the picture. I think the Villain was trying to change the future by killing specific people from the past.
It has been suggested to me that one of the films I am thinking of is Scanners but I am pretty sure this does not have a Time Travel element?
As I have said it may be my memory is mixing up plot points from a number of films so if film suggestions only partially cover this description that is fine.

In Timestalkers (1987), suggested by the Wandering Dev Manager, people from 1987 get involved with time travelling criminals and police from the future and end up about a century in their past in the west trying to foil the villain who plans to assassinate a US president and prevent his enemy in the future, descended from that president, from ever being born. One of the 1987 persons does identify a modern gun in a photo from the Wild West. But as far as I remember the exploding heads would be from a different movie.

A villain controlling thoughts and time travel were featured in "Trancers" (1984) and it's sequels.

Could it be Timestalkers (1987)?
Under photo enhancement, McKenzie notices Cole in the background of the picture and identifies the gun Cole is carrying as a .357 Magnum from the 1980s. Despite this, chemical and spectroscopic testing indicates that the photograph is at least 100 years old. McKenzie becomes convinced that Cole is a time traveler.
