12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
The vast majority of shotguns seen in films and television are 12 gauge shotguns. Despite the existence of other gauges like 410, 16, 20, and 28 as well as the older 10 gauge and 8 gauge punt guns (and others), the shotguns most likely to be seen in a film would be the ubiquitous 12 gauge.
There are many instances of 12 Gauge Double Barreled shotguns in films, television, and video games. However it is difficult to determine the exact make and model of gun since the distinctive features are hard to make out, even in close up. However, it is possible to ID the guns eventually if enough of their details are clearly visible in a film. Several things make this possible:
a)The Wooden foregrips are distinctive as is the factory checkering,
b)The lever that removes the foregrip is distinctive,
c)The buttstock is distinctive as well as the shape as seen from the side profile.
It is hoped that more and more of these 'mystery' shotguns will be identified as time goes on.
Please check the talk page for additional models and variants of the 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun not shown on the main page. See also Double barreled shotgun for Double Barreled Shotgun models with their own pages.
Side by Side Shotgun
The 12 gauge side by side shotgun is the iconic hunting or 'country' shotgun. From Jed Clampett of "The Beverly Hillbillies" to Frank Castle in The Punisher, the side by side shotgun has been the staple of the hunter or sportsman. The Black powder versions are iconic weapons of the Old West and percussion cap or muzzle loader shotguns are symbols of the Pioneer expansion westward throughout the 1800s. As of the late 1890s, double barreled shotguns were built to withstand the higher pressures of the modern smokeless powder shells.
This section is for all Side by Side shotguns of legal length (i.e. 18" to 28" (or longer)
