Movie Shotgun?

[G36-UK]

Does anyone know the shotgun used by Keanu Reeves in Constantine?

It looks similar to an Armsel Street Sweeper, but it has a removable magazine. Mind you, that wouldn't be much of a difference given the modifications done to whatever it was.

By far the most complicated prop in the film, the shotgun had to fire multiple rounds while having a look in keeping with Beeman's other relics. Corwin started by examining existing shotguns. Finding one called a "Street Sweeper" that would serve as an excellent model, he worked with Lawrence and Shohan to refine its look. They decided that the components of the gun should appear to be based upon drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Once designed, the prop master still had to put it all together and end up with a functional firearm. He would eventually make two guns that actually fired, two picture-perfect plastic replicas plus four rubber versions for rehearsals and use by stand-ins. Eight craftsmen took more than seven weeks to produce the two working models. The final result is a gleaming and fearsome weapon made of brass and gold, etched with the Latin phrases "a cruce salus" ("from the cross comes salvation"), "decus it tutamen" ("an adornment and a means of salvation") and "dei gratia" ("by the grace of God").

Keanu Reeves was so impressed with the polished piece that he ordered an additional shotgun to be made as a gift for Frances Lawrence upon completion of principal photography.
