Roger appears to be loading this gun with .22 rounds, so that would mean it is most likely a Single Six. It could still be a Peacemaker, but Roger loaded it with blank rounds.

The following weapons appear in the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead:
Used by all SWAT members , in particular, the characters of Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) but eventually discarded after raiding the gun store. In one shot, when Peter is unloading his weapon after shooting the zombie kids, we can see the tiny .22lr magazine. The Adler-Jager (also marked Armi-Jager) AP-74 is an inexpensive .22 AR15 clone (that was actually pretty close to an SP1 and much better looking than the .22 M16 clone made by Armscor). The guns were pretty much 'mime' fired, with only the sound effect and blood squibs to indicate that the rifle was fired and is used in place of the M16A1.
A Colt Peacemaker single action type revolver is used by one of the survivors.
Roger appears to be loading this gun with .22 rounds, so that would mean it is most likely a Single Six. It could still be a Peacemaker, but Roger loaded it with blank rounds.
just putting this out there: it's not a 1908, the front end is too thin. I wanna say it's another Colt Pocket Pistol from the same era, but I don't know which.
During the gun shop scene Peter is seen holstering what appears to be a pair of Colt Navy 1851 black powder revolvers. Probably replicas manufactured by Uberti.
A Smith & Wesson 916 shotgun is seen during the S.W.A.T. raid at the beginning of the film. One is also carried by one of the bikers when they attack the mall.
Peter (Ken Foree) takes a scoped Savage 99 lever action rifle, chambered in 300 Savage, from the gun store for his personal use. He later uses it against the bikers when they invade the mall.

Peter tells Stephen not to fire through the security doors, lest the ricochets 'chase them around' in the store, however, the metal in the security doors are a combination of aluminum and soft steel, easily punctured by any of the high powered rifle ammo.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAmmo boxes of .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition (The words 300 magnum are clearly seen on the box and the artwork of the casing says "Winchester"). Since the Savage Model 99 was never chambered in .300 Win Mag, this is a error.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA bandoleer of 303 British soft points is loaded up; note the rimmed case. Even though a Lee-Enfield is pictured in the shop, this is an error since no 303 British chambered guns are used.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPeter goes biker hunting with his scoped Savage Model 99 Rifle - .300 Savage
Steve originally uses this rifle but is incompetent with it. During the sequence when Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) and Peter (Ken Foree) are venturing forth from the safety of the mall to get the trucks Fran (Gaylen Ross) is providing cover fire from the roof of the mall with a rifle.
