A nickel-plated and wooden gripped version of the BFR is carried by Kid Blue (Noah Segan). Prop Master James Kroning mentions in an IGN video that the rear sight was removed to provide better balance when spinning the pistol and to facilitate fanning of the revolver.

Shotguns

"Blunderbuss" Shotgun

A shotgun, known as the "Blunderbuss", with a futuristic barrel sheath is used by Joe and the rest of the Loopers to kill their victims. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearms it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a Blunderbuss it is capable of firing multiple rounds.
