The Winchester Model 1912 (often called the Model 12) is a hammerless pump-action shotgun with an external tube magazine. Dubbed the "Perfect Repeater" at its inception, this shotgun served as the successor to the earlier Winchester Model 1897 and saw service in both World Wars. Nearly two million M1912 shotguns were produced between 1912 and 1963, and were produced in a variety of grades and barrel lengths. Although the gun was originally chambered for 20 gauge only, the success of the M1912 led to the release of 12 and 16 gauge versions in 1914, and a 28 gauge model was introduced in 1934. The Riot gun model, which had a shortened barrel, was used by the US police, Navy and Air Force for many years. As with the Model 1897, the Model 1912's riot gun model was adapted into a "trench gun" with a bayonet lug and heat shield, used by the US Army in both World Wars, and to a limited degree in later conflicts.
The Winchester Model 1912 shotgun can be seen in the following films used by the following actors:
