Revision as of 01:58, 25 July 2011
The following guns were used in the film Jaws (1975):
M1 Garand
Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) uses an M1 Garand against the shark at the climax of the film. Several Coast Guard members are also armed with M1s, most notably when they surround the two boys wearing a fake shark fin.
M1 Carbine
One of the men patrolling the waters on the Fourth of July is armed with an M1 Carbine. The rifle appears to be fitted with adjustable rear sights as seen on post-WW2 M1 Carbines, but without the bayonet lug.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolver as his issued sidearm and uses it to fire several shots at the shark as it passes the Orca.
W.W. Greener Harpoon (built from Martini-Henry)
Quint's (Robert Shaw) harpoon gun is a nickel-finished W.W. Greener based upon a Martini-Henry carbine rifle. The spool housing the line or cord has been removed from under the muzzle and the reel is attached to the ship to handle bigger fish like sharks.

12 Gauge Double Barreled shotgun
When the fishermen descend on the town in search of the reward on the shark, one of the hunters carries what looks like a Stevens 311A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. This is from a deleted scene that can be viewed in the 30th Anniversary Edition's extras features.
Arisaka Rifle
When posing with what they believe to be the shark causing all the carnage, one of the men in the group (at the far right) carries what looks like an Arisaka Type 99. Not implausible; the movie was filmed in 1974 and war souvenir firearms were still very plentiful and affordable.
