==M1 Garand== | |||
Quint ([[Robert Shaw]]) keeps an [[M1 Garand]] aboard his boat and is seen using it during the shark's night attack. Chief Martin Brody ([[Roy Scheider]]) uses the Garand against the shark at the climax of the film. Several Coast Guardsmen are also armed with M1s, most notably when they surround the two boys wearing a fake shark fin. | |||
As is customary for "hero" weapons, the production rented at least two M1 Garands from Stembridge Gun Rentals which served as ''the'' rifle designated for use by Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw, which were later inherited by Cinema Weaponry after their acquisition of the Stembridge Title I firearm inventory. One of the M1s used in the film was sold by [https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/roy-scheider-brody-m1-garand-rifle-from-jaws/a/997049-1733.s Heritage Auction] in 2018.
