E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 science-fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg that centers around a young boy who befriends an alien who was mistakenly left behind on earth. In 2002, the film was re-released for its 20th anniversary in a remastered version with new visual effects and the director made the decision to digitally remove all firearms used in the film.


The following firearms are used in the original 1982 version of the film E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial:


Winchester 1200 Shotgun

During the kids' frantic escape from the authorities, government agents at the roadblock are seen brandishing what appear to be Winchester 1200 shotguns. Two closeups of the shotgun itself were deleted entirely, and, for the climactic scene of E.T. using his powers to make the kids' bicycles fly over the roadblock, the shotguns were digitally replaced with walkie-talkies.

Winchester Model 1200 Police Model - 12 gauge. The precursor to the Model 1300 however it is an all metal shotgun with a deep blued finish. It was developed in 1964 and ended production when the U.S. Repeating Arms Company acquired Winchester from Olin in 1980. The 1200 eventually ceased all production in 1981 and ceded the pump shotgun like to the Model 1300.
