The following firearms were featured in the 1990 film, Tremors:
William Moore & Co. 8 gauge shotgun
Burt Gummer's (Michael Gross) "Elephant Gun" is a Belgian-made William Moore & Co. 8-gauge shotgun firing solid slugs. It is used to finish off the Graboid that busts into Burt's rec room. Shotgun was provided by Ellis Mercantile for the Tremors Movie. When it was thrown from the truck to the rock in was dropped and the stock shattered at the wrist due to the 12.5 pounds that the shotgun weighs.
H&K HK91
This rifle can be seen in the rec room scene, Burt (Michael Gross) opens fire on the Graboid to no avail with a barrage of bullets from the HK rifle.
AR-15 variant
Heather (Reba McEntire) fires a couple of magazines out of these guns at the attacking Graboid that broke into the rec room. She actually shouted for a magazine instead of clip like most bad script would write. When abandoning his home, Burt pauses to ask Heather whether he should take the Elephant gun or an M16A2 rifle, Heather advising him to take the Elephant gun since it would have "better penetration" than the smaller-caliber M16A2.
Winchester Model 1300
Burt (Michael Gross) uses this shotgun to fire multiple shots at the Graboid in the rec room and then uses it to break the glass on the case containing the elephant gun.
- I was watching this movie on TV at 7:00 this morning and it's a Remington 870. - Gunmaster45
Winchester 1300 Defender
Heather (Reba McEntire) uses this pistol gripped shotgun to shoot off the tentacle of the Graboid attacking Burt in the rec room.
Winchester Model 94
This 30-30 caliber lever-action rifle is found on Edgar's (Sunshine Parker) body who had died of dehydration on a tower. Val (Kevin Bacon) later uses it in the first encounter with the Graboids but ditches it when they're being chased.
- ^ I don't know if this is supposed to be the same gun in the film, but this is a Winchester 1892, the lever design is different from a 94. - Gunmaster45
Winchester Model 70
Heather (Reba McEntire) has one of these rifles chambered in .375 H&H Mag in her possession and passes it off to Earl (Fred Ward) when he and Val are about to ride off to Bixby by horseback, he loses it however when his horse is attacked.
Browning A-Bolt
Heather (Reba McEntire) has this rifle chambered in .458 Win Mag in her possession at the start of the rec room seen and uses it to fire multiple rounds at the attacking Graboid, she carries it again later as they escape to the mountains and fires a few rounds at some Graboid dirtmounds.
- It's actually a Winchester Model 70 in .458, similair to Dirty Harry's gun. It doesn't look like an A-Bolt. She even says in the film it's a .458 and Burt should bring it due to its better penetration and less ammo to carry. - Gunmaster45
Micro Uzi
This gun can be seen near the finale, when Val (Kevin Bacon) fires it over the side of the trailer at a Graboid under the dirt. It could be just a semi auto pistol verison.
Colt Model 1873 Single-Action Army
Earl (Fred Ward) pulls this revolver from the glove compartment of the truck upon discovering the two road crew workers dead. It is later seen again in his possession when He and Val are about to ride off to Bixby.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Earl (Fred Ward) has this revolver in his possession near the end of the film and fires multiple shots over the side of the old semi trailer as the Graboids attack.
Ruger Redhawk
Burt (Michael Gross) hands this revolver off to Melvin (Robert Jayne) to get him motivated to run to the rocks. Melvin is mad once he finds out the revolver is unloaded when he attempts to fire it at the approaching Graboid dirt mounds.
Magnum Research Inc. Mark I Desert Eagle
Burt (Michael Gross) wears this in a hip holster finished in Brushed Chrome for the remainder of the movie after the Graboid broke into his rec room in which it can also be seen on the gun wall in that scene and at one point Burt fires a few shots into the air from it from the rock in an attempt to distract a Graboid from the others. One was also see on the wall of the rec room.
Wall of guns
Wouldn't you love to have this wall? Burt and Heather are survivalists who live in Perfection because in the event of World War III, it is geographically isolated and far from any blast zone. They maintain a full arsenal of guns to defend themselves when the Ruskies drop the big one and society collapses. While communicating over a wireless radio with Val back in the main town, a Graboid bursts through the wall of the basement room Burt and Heather are in, causing Val and the rest to assume that they have been killed. However, they then start hearing rapid-fire gunshots echoing across the valley from Burt's compound, and the camera snaps back to the basement room to reveal that its actually Burt and Heather's armory. What follows is an an orgy of gunfire as Burt and Heather frantically rip different guns off their racks and unload them into the Graboid and its mouthed tentacles. Given that a "Graboid" is basically an underground burrowing reptile the size of a rhino, they're able to keep its tentacles at bay but it takes time to cause it significant damage. Burt finally finishes it off with his "Elephant gun" (an 8 gauge shotgun). Keep in mind that this much gunfire in an enclosed space would assuredly be deafening, however in a small nod to realism Burt at least tells Heather to cover her hears when he fires the "Elephant gun".
