He's in War flicks like The Lives of a Bengal Lancer and For Whom the Bell Tolls so he'll probably get some kills there

Yeah, I've seen both of those, but I didn't count his kills in either, so they're definitely candidates for a rewatch, along with some of his other movies. In Lives of a Bengal Lancer he unleashes his inner Rambo and walks around with this huge water-cooled machine gun mowing down baddies.

No, I'm pretty sure you were thinking of Gary Coleman.

Watched Vera Cruz and did my best to count Coop's kills (it's a war movie, so it can get kinda hairy).

-shoots 3 Mexican rebels during stagecoach ambush (2 on buildings, 1 in a wagon)
-during final battle, he and Burt Lancaster fire their rifles at approximately the same time and the film cuts to a guy falling off a building (I'm counting it as shared kill, although Cooper fired closer to the cut)
-later on in the final battle, Cooper fires his rifle and the movie cuts to a guy falling off building
-Cooper and Lancaster together shoot at 2 French Gatling gun operators (counting it as shared kills since it's hard to see with that damn wall in the way
-Cooper mows down 5 French guys by the cannon with the Gatling gun
-Cooper shoots at least 6 French soldiers standing behind the wall with the Gatling gun
-Cooper shoots a French lancer during the scene where they go after the marquis during the final battle
-shoots Burt Lancaster at the very end

That makes 20 kills, estimated rather conservatively. If anybody wants to make a more accurate count, go ahead.

1 kill in The General Died at Dawn (Mr. Perrie).

At least 11 kills in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer.
-first burst of fire from his machine gun kills at least 2 (he fires at a big crowd, but most seem to survive and can be seen crawling for cover)
-third burst of fire from his machine gun kills 3 (2 on a roof, 1 falls off a guard tower in the background; the second machine gun burst doesn't appear to kill anybody)
-blows up an ammo dump killing himself, 2 bad guys in a machine gun nest that collapses, and 3 in a guard tower that collapses.

He also punches a bad guy off a ledge to obtain his machine gun, but the fall only appears to be about 10 feet, so it probably wasn't fatal.

While that pic you chose is great, what do you think about this alternative one?
