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.
For IMFDB Users
Also there is a guide to recognizing pump shotguns by noting the specific details which make them unique.
12 Gauge Pump Shotgun Recognition Guide
Just like the Big Three Auto makers in the U.S. (GM, Chrysler & Ford), there are the Big Three Pump Shotgun makers in the U.S. - Remington, Winchester and Mossberg. Most pump shotguns that 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.
Most of the recognition picture aids will deal with the most common models of these three gun makers.
