Double Barrel Shotguns

Maybe a Savage/Stevens 311A Shotgun - 12 Gauge. First seen by an eager MFP patrol man Roop (Steve Millichamp) when he tries to shoot the Night Rider in the films opening. Another is used by Johnny (Tim Burns) to shoot a sex doll when the bikers are at the beach. Max also keeps one of these weapons close by after he resigns from MPF and goes travelling with his wife and child.

Late in the movie, May Swaisey (Sheila Florance) the old woman that Max and family are staying with uses this gun to corner Toecutter's biker thugs into a shed. Could be a Charles Parker 1878 side by side.

Sawn Off Double barrel shotgun

Max's (Mel Gibson) main weapon in the movie, and possibly a Savage/Stevens 311A Shotgun. When battling against the Biker Gang, Max for some odd reason makes an effort to reach this shotgun when his leg is damaged but armed with a S&W 29 and doesn't even use it when he can(Anyone else notice this?). [Perhaps he figured that a moving target would be easier to hit with an "area weapon" like a shotgun?]

Looking at how the forend doesn't go all the way up to the front of the magazine tube I'm thinking Mossberg 500? --Predator20 04:12, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
