The following guns were used in the film Jaws
M1 Garand
Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) uses an M1 Garand at the end of the film to fire several shots at "Bruce", the shark, and delivers the final shot to the air tank in the shark's mouth with the rifle. Several coast guards are also seen armed with M1s, most notabley when they surround the two boys pretending to be the shark by wearing a fake fin.
- AQ11, don't forget the famous line, "Smile you sonava--!" -GM
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 boat, "The Orca".
