Tremors 4: The Legend Begins
The following weapons were featured in the 2004 prequel to the original Tremors:
Punt gun
Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross) purchases this 2 inch bore Punt Gun to combat the creatures in the valley and uses it to kill one of them before they snatch it and take it underground. Since authentic firing punt guns are rare and none could be acquired for the shoot, a 94-pound, eight-foot-four-inch prop was built. The entire trigger assembly of the prop swings down to allow the loading of the internal 12-gauge shotgun, which used triple-load powder blanks. WD-40 lubricant was sprayed inside the barrel to add to the smoke cloud produced when the punt gun was fired.
Colt Model 1873 Single-Action Army (Peacemaker)
Black Hand Kelly (Billy Drago) packs a .45 Colt Peacemaker as his weapon of choice and uses it multiple times to shoot at Graboid tentacles in the muling station scene. Juan (Brent Roam) also carries a Peacemaker throughout the film and uses it a couple of times. Hiram (Michael Gross) uses one a few times in the film after being given one courtesy of Black Hand Kelly.
Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle
The Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle is the rifle Juan (Brent Roam) uses in the final battle. In reality it was 45-70 caliber but the film makers called it .52 caliber in the film because it sounded cooler, and could still have been a custom loading.
Actually it does fire .52 in my book Weapon a visual history of arms and armorUser:Big guns 100
Henry 1860
Miss Lord (Sara Botsford) uses a Henry 1860 Repeater rifle to shoot at the Graboids in the final battle.
Smith & Wesson Model No. 3 Top Break
This is seen with Old Fred (J.E. Freeman) but never uses it.
Sharps Pepperbox
At the muling station Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross) uses this once to shoot the Graboids tentacles.
Remington Mark III
Miss Chang (Lydia Look) uses this pistol in the final battle. Also in the movie Hiram call it "an 8 gauge Remington Derringer". Even though they are two different manufacturers. This gun was not made for this time, but the director liked and is actually a flare gun.
Remington 1875
Tecopa (August Schellenburg) uses a pair of these pistols in the final battle.
Winchester Model 1873
Big horse Johnson (John Dixon) uses a Winchester Model 1873 to shoot at the baby dirt dragons when they first encounter them.
Winchester 1886
Both Juan (Brent Roam) and Black Hand Kelly (Billy Drago) use this lever-action 45-70 chambered rifle in the muling station scene to fire at the creatures tearing out the floorboards.
LC Smith Shotgun
Besides his Remington pistols Tecopa (August Schellenberg) also used a LC Smith Shotgun in the final battle.
Remington No. 1 Rolling block

Colt Gatling gun
Hiram (Michael Gross) can be seen firing this at the end. The weapon used was a genuine antique .45-70 Colt Gatling gun, and according to the filmmakers it worked flawlessly.
