==M1 Garand==
Chief Brody ([[Roy Scheider]]) uses an [[M1 Garand]] at the end of the film to fire several shots at "Bruce", the shark, and delivers the final shot to the air tank in the shark's mouth with the rifle. Several coast guards are also seen armed with M1s, most notably when they surround the two boys pretending to be the shark by wearing a fake fin.
Quint ([[Robert Shaw]]) keeps an [[M1 Garand]] aboard his boat and is seen using it during the shark's night attack. Chief Martin Brody ([[Roy Scheider]]) uses the Garand against the shark at the climax of the film.
