== John Constantine's Holy Shotgun ==
The [["Constantines' " Holy Shotgun|Holy Shotgun]] is seen as a firearm constructed out of "Holy Relics", firing gold rifled slugs encased in engraved 12 gauge sized shells. It also has the "Dragon's Breath" flamethrower (see [[Constantine#Dragon.27s_Breath_Flamethrower|below]]) mounted beneath the barrel.  Though based heavily on the [[Armsel Striker]] or a variant of the Striker, it is not built from one. The receiver is radically different in size and shape (quite a bit smaller and smoother on Constantine's gun).  Also the ornately engraved drum magazines are shown as detachable (much like the drum magazine of a [[PPSh-41]]) but it 'spins' like the cylinder of a revolver.  None of the real world weapons have this capability, so it is a completely built prop weapon, using some real world parts, but for the most part is fictional.
 
An interesting note: Constantine's shotgun has a ammo deficit.  Despite each drum holding twelve rounds, Constantine only fires eight shots before he has to reload, and after reloading the second drum, he runs out of ammo in five shots. This is either an editing mistake, or his shotgun shells have really bad primers.

Seen as a shotgun constructed out of Holy Relics, the weapon does not fire actual shotgun rounds but gold bullets that look alot like 45-70 govt. roundsIt is gold-plated, heavily customized, and the one in the film sports detachable magazines- the real life weapons only have fixed ones. Used by Constantine ([[Keanu Reeves]]) throughout the film to kill demons.

The following weapons were used in the film Constantine:


John Constantine's Holy Shotgun

The Holy Shotgun is seen as a firearm constructed out of "Holy Relics", firing gold rifled slugs encased in engraved 12 gauge sized shells. It also has the "Dragon's Breath" flamethrower (see below) mounted beneath the barrel. Though based heavily on the Armsel Striker or a variant of the Striker, it is not built from one. The receiver is radically different in size and shape (quite a bit smaller and smoother on Constantine's gun). Also the ornately engraved drum magazines are shown as detachable (much like the drum magazine of a PPSh-41) but it 'spins' like the cylinder of a revolver. None of the real world weapons have this capability, so it is a completely built prop weapon, using some real world parts, but for the most part is fictional.

An interesting note: Constantine's shotgun has a ammo deficit. Despite each drum holding twelve rounds, Constantine only fires eight shots before he has to reload, and after reloading the second drum, he runs out of ammo in five shots. This is either an editing mistake, or his shotgun shells have really bad primers.
