The following weapons were used in the film Walking Tall:
In one scene Callie Hacker (Rosemary Murphy) holds a snub nose revolver. It is seen very briefly and unclear. Smith & Wesson Model 36 is a possible guess but the frame seems too large.
In one scene a female assassin fires a pair of pistols at Buford Pusser. Due to darkness, lit only by muzzle flashes, one of the pistols is seen only marginally, and another one appears to be a Star Model B, identified by the external extractor.
Nine-years-old Buford's son Mike (Leif Garrett) sits at the bed of his wounded father with a shotgun that also appears to be a Remington 870 but in a smaller chambering (the gun is Buford's Christmas gift to Mike).
