This is a page for all of the 'mystery' pump shotguns in films (usually obscure models from foreign makers). As more information is gathered, these guns will be identified.
Also there is a guide to recognizing pump shotguns by noting the specific details which make them unique.
12 Gauge Pump Shotgun Recognition Guide
There are many 12 gauge shotguns that are very unique looking and easy to identify. This page is dedicated to the most common pump shotguns that people tend to confuse with each other.
Just like the Big Three Auto makers in the U.S. (GM, Chrysler & Ford), there are the (current) Big Three Pump Shotgun makers in the U.S. - Remington, Winchester and Mossberg. The three most common pump shotguns now are the Remington 870, the Mossberg 500/590, and the Winchester Model 1200/1300. Prior to the 1960s, the three most common pump shotguns were the Remington 870, the Ithaca Model 37 and the Winchester Model 12. Mossberg aggressively went after Ithaca's market share and got it.
Most pump shotguns that currently appear in films are one of these manufacturers, no offense to fine makers like Savage, Stevens, Browning, etc. There are far more Side by Side and O/U Shotgun makers represented in the U.S. and the world (especially the high priced European makers), but most of the Pump shotguns used by police/military/civilians are from one of these three U.S. companies.
This recognition guide will grow with additions of other major manufacturers.

The Difference between the back receivers, pin placement and trigger guard/assemblies
What is the difference between the Mossberg 500 and the Mossberg 590?
Well, one can always check online as to the internal and structural differences between the two models. But sometimes Model 500s are sold with heat shields, so that makes them harder to distinguish in a movie whether they are 500s or 590s.
