The Blob (1958)
The Blob is a 1958 American science fiction film directed by Irvin Yeaworth and stars Steve McQueen in one of his first acting roles.
In Summer 1957, a meteorite lands outside of a rural Pennsylvania town, unleashing an amoeba-like alien organism that consumes and dissolves its victims, growing ever larger and more aggressive the more people it consumes. A sequel, titled Beware! The Blob, was released in 1972, as well as a remake in 1988.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Dr. Hallen (Alden "Stephen" Chase) retrieves a 12 gauge shotgun from his office wall to shoot at the blob, to no effect.
Winchester Model 1892
Lieutenant Dave Barton (Earl Rowe) carries a Winchester Model 1892 when the blob invades the town.
Unidentified Rifles
Sergeant Jim Bert (John Benson) uses two different bolt-action rifles during the climax of the film. They are not fired onscreen and seen only fleetingly in brief scenes.
Other
The cops - Dave, Jim, and Ritchie (George Karas) - have holstered, wood-handled revolvers of some kind but these are never taken out and used.
