=="Blunderbuss" Shotgun==
==Futuristic "Blunderbuss" Shotgun==
The main weapon used by Loopers in the film like Joe ([[Joseph Gordon-Levitt]]) and Seth ([[Paul Dano]]) is a futuristic shotgun dubbed the "Blunderbuss". The pump action firearm is fitted with a futuristic barrel sheath. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearm it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real Blunderbuss, it is capable of firing multiple rounds.

The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real [[Blunderbuss]], it is capable of firing multiple rounds. While largely custom made (the handle, for example, is "a Waterjet piece clad with the custom wood grips"), a large part of the barrel of the "Blunderbuss" is the Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-5005 12.520" Smooth Series Forearm (Rifle Length) with hand-machined parts on the front and rear of the forearm. The front of the barrel also features what is most likely a Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-262 Fixed Bipod Stud.

Shotguns

Futuristic "Blunderbuss" Shotgun

The main weapon used by Loopers in the film like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Seth (Paul Dano) is a futuristic shotgun dubbed the "Blunderbuss". The pump action firearm is fitted with a futuristic barrel sheath. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearm it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real Blunderbuss, it is capable of firing multiple rounds. While largely custom made (the handle, for example, is "a Waterjet piece clad with the custom wood grips"), a large part of the barrel of the "Blunderbuss" is the Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-5005 12.520" Smooth Series Forearm (Rifle Length) with hand-machined parts on the front and rear of the forearm. The front of the barrel also features what is most likely a Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-262 Fixed Bipod Stud.

Magnum Research BFR (Nickel)

A nickel-plated and wooden gripped version of the BFR is carried by Kid Blue (Noah Segan). Prop Master James Kroning mentions in an IGN video that the rear sight was removed to provide better balance when spinning the pistol and to facilitate fanning of the revolver. Fixed sights were sculpted in place of the rear adjustable sight.
