Looper is a 2012 action/science-fiction film directed by Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom). Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Joe, a hitman who works in the year 2044 as a "Looper", a specialist in killing people sent back in time from 2074. Joe's world begins to fall apart when he recognizes one of his victims as his older self (Bruce Willis) and allows him to escape.
The following weapons were used in the film Looper:
The main weapon used by Loopers in the film like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Seth (Paul Dano) is a futuristic shotgun dubbed the "Blunderbuss". The pump action firearm is fitted with a futuristic barrel sheath. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearm it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real Blunderbuss, it is capable of firing multiple rounds.
A nickel-plated and wooden gripped version of the BFR is carried by Kid Blue (Noah Segan). Prop Master James Kroning mentions in an IGN video that the rear sight was removed to provide better balance when spinning the pistol and to facilitate fanning of the revolver. Fixed sights were sculpted in place of the rear adjustable sight.
Old Joe is seen holding a Heckler & Koch MP5A5 with a KAC forend when he confronts Abe. This may be a continuity error, as he is never seen carrying the MP5 as he is going through the building with his twin P90s, and he is shown reloading before he confronts Abe, despite never having used the weapon.
