The vast majority of shotguns seen in films and television are 12 gauge shotguns. Despite the existence of other gauges like 410, 16 20 and 28 as well as the older 10 gauge and 8 gauge bunt guns (and others), the shotguns most likely to be seen in a film would be the ubiquitous 12 gauge.

There are many instances of 12 Gauge Double Barreled shotguns in films, television, and video games. However it is difficult to determine the exact make and model of gun since the distinctive features are hard to make out, even in close up. However, it is possible to ID the guns eventually if enough of their details are clearly visible in a film. Several things make this possible a)The Wooden foregrips are distinctive as is the factory checkering, b)The lever that removes the foregrip is distinctive, c)The buttstock is distinctive as well as the shape as seen from the side profile. More and more of these 'mystery' shotguns will be IDd as time goes on. :)


Side by Side Shotgun

The black powder side by side shotgun is the iconic hunting or 'country' shotgun. From Jed Clampett of "The Beverly Hillbillies" to Jack Ryan in Patriot Games, the side by side shotgun has been the staple of the hunter or sportsman. The Black powder versions are iconic weapons of the Old West and percussion cap or muzzle loader shotguns are symbols of the Pioneer expansion westward throughout the 1800s.


Film

  • Thomas Jane as Frank Castle used two in The Punisher (the first one is a long barreled hunting version and is most likely as Savage/Stevens 311H Model Shotgun. The second one is a sawed off shotgun of undetermined make and model).

Television

  • CSI: NY (with and without sawed-off barrels and stock)

Video Games
















Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)

With two barrels stacked on top of one another the O/U proved to be more accurate and effective at shooting airborne clay targets and bird hunting than a side-by-side.
