There are many instances of Double Barreled shotguns in films, television, and video games. However it is difficult to determine the exact make and model of gun since the distinctive features are hard to make out, even in close up. However, it is possible to ID the guns eventually if enough of their details are clearly visible in a film. Several things make this possible a)The Wooden foregrips are distinctive as is the factory checkering, b)The lever that removes the foregrip is distinctive, c)The buttstock is distinctive as well as the shape as seen from the side profile. More and more of these 'mystery' shotguns will be IDd as time goes on. :)
Side by Side Shotgun
The black powder side by side shotgun is the iconic hunting or 'country' shotgun. From Jed Clampett of "The Beverly Hillbillies" to Jack Ryan in Patriot Games, the side by side shotgun has been the staple of the hunter or sportsman. The Black powder versions are iconic weapons of the Old West and percussion cap or muzzle loader shotguns are symbols of the Pioneer expansion westward throughout the 1800s.
