'Blue Ruin' is an independent thriller film written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, and funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. It follows a drifter (Macon Blair) who returns to his hometown seeking revenge after his parents' supposed killer is released from prison.
The following weapons were used in the film Blue Ruin:
Early in the film, Dwight (Macon Blair) steals a gun case from a parked truck, only to discover the revolver inside is protected by a trigger lock. He attempts to remove the trigger lock by hitting it repeatedly with a crowbar, which, predictably, is ineffective and destroys the gun. For this scene the filmmakers used an EKOL Viper, a blank-fire only weapon, rather than destroy an actual working firearm.
One of the weapons that Ben (Devin Ratray) offers to Dwight (Macon Blair) is a Ruger Mk III, which he describes as firing "its own nine millimetre cartridge" and instructs Dwight that it must be loaded with stripper clips. Both of these statements are incorrect, although it is possible that the scene was written with another firearm in mind. Later in the film, Ben makes mention of giving Dwight a "Steyr" as a secondary weapon, meaning perhaps that the filmmakers had confused the Ruger with a similar-looking but older firearm that does indeed load from stripper clips.
The final weapon that Ben (Devin Ratray) initially shows to Dwight (Macon Blair) is a Ruger Mini-14 GB. Dwight then uses the Mini-14 while interrogating Teddy (Kevin Kolack), who also briefly uses it after overpowering Dwight.
Several double barrelled shotguns are seen in the film. The first is seen in the hands of Teddy (Kevin Kolack) and later Dwight (Macon Blair) at Dwight's sister Sam's house. At least one more is seen at the Clelands' home, and another is seen used by William at the end of the film.
