OK, I'll be "That Guy", but it was a Model 97 take down in Bullitt.

Well, I'll be d****d. Thanks! I really never know that, and actually just had to search it. I hereby amend my favorite movie shotgun to "The takedown 97 in the movie "Bullitt" ".

The way Wick is firing that Benelli is hard on the bicep.

It’s not my favorite movie shotgun but I’d really like to have a Benelli M4.

A very short sawn off double (12 gauge?) with external hammers makes for several of my favorite scenes from Desperado. The scene where Selma Hayek is awkwardly trying to put on two different heels with one hand while holding the shotgun in the other always makes me smile

Before there was Walker... there was Lone Wolf!

Auto-5, Baby. Great cinema gun.

Though it never got *used* I always dug Scott Glenn playing a 5th Group captain gone rogue with his righteous Ithaca 37 Trench (frikken hen's teeth, that!) with a scalp no less.

Are you thinking maybe of the Benelli Super 90 with a likely fake drum magazine?

It's too typical hollywoodish, but I like the AA-12 scene in The Expendables.

I recently passed up a mag-7 12 guage from techno arms. I had to look it up myself. It was used in the movie Romeo and Juliette (oddly enough. Lol. Terrible movie btw). Neat movie shotgun though.

Good pass.

"Possibly the worst shotgun ever".

Big Gun Smoke fan. Enjoy watching the gents climb up on the stage with their coach doubles. So much so that I got one for myself.

Bama McCall!

OK, not a movie, but a good TV show: Amos Burton's Martian Marine automatic shotgun from "The Expanse":

(do they have to be real?)

Ithaca Roadblocker 10 ga. The side by side in "Apaloosa" was an 8 GA. (or 8 BORE as they say in Texas) A "manly" shotgun.

Winchester Model 97, the WWI US Army issue 12 Ga trench gun with a short barrel. Became my favorite after watching one of my favorite westerns, "The Wild Bunch".
I'm not sure but I believe that Steve McQueen also used one in the original version of the movie "The Getaway".

They don’t say Bore in lieu of gauge in Texas. Englishmen and Anglophiles do. 8 gauge huh in Appaloosa?

Michael Douglas uses a cut down left handed Remington 870 Wingmaster in "Romancing The Stone".

Went to the movies, in an actual theater, last night and saw News of the World. Actually a pretty good old classic Western with a minimum of Hollywood woke nonsense and Tom Hanks is getting very Jimmy Stewart in his later years.

But they had one of those special movie shotguns! In addition to anachronistic guns like the 1875 Remington and an S&W Model 3 ( set in 1869/70) I suppose the latter is chronologically possible, but not in the hands of a dirt poor down and out ex-Confederate soldier. There was an 1866 Winchester for some nod to history.

Anyway, Hanks' character, another dirt poor, down at the heels Reb, has got a double barrel cartridge gun, but only birdshot loads. Until, wait for it, his little accomplice knocks the shot out of the brass cartridge and... fills it with dimes! Sure enough, it then blows a man clear off his feet and backwards a few yards!

Again, considering cartridge shotguns didn't begin appearing until the mid 1860s, the likelihood of Captain Kidd having a double and cartridges is too farfetched, but who cares? He knocked dudes back yards shooting them with coins! Awesome.
