Talk:Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Guns used by the rednecks

I See a lot of lever rifles in the possy and the sheriff apprently uses a bolt action rifle, please if anyone have the movie help me to put some screencaps.

I'll see about doing a few caps tonight. I think I still have that dvd. (krispic)

Welp, cancel that. You've got pretty much all the usable pics already. I posted a couple of clearer caps but there's not much really visible in that movie that hasn't already been identified. The sheriff's rifle is never seen enough to get a decent cap of any sort. The only time he's seen actually shooting, it's a handgun. (krispic)

Yeah this movie was tough to screen cap due to the poor quality. I guess you can’t expect too much from a B&W low budget independent film made in the 60s. Really dark in some scenes and during the daytime scenes the sunlight basically causes a whiteout. I didn’t think that the one posse member used a Lee Enfield No.1 Mk3 because to me it looks like the barrel is much longer, but I guess that is just a branch or something in the background. That one screen shot you put up is really good, is that like a deleted scene? Anyway good job identifying some of the rifles. --Mauser 18:55, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

One big prob is that most scenes with firearms are also capped from the tv broadcasts making them even worse. The Lee Enfield is pretty much definitely the No1 Mk3. Have one here that I could measure. It's exact. The receiver bolt bridge is visible in the pic just above the back edge of the magazine and the rear sight, mounted on the barrel is in line with his chin. The stock is cut just right at the barrel band and the muzzle is just above the tv screen edge. Even the magazine lanyard chain loop is visible right in front of the magazine. That one cap is the very last shot just before the fellow shoots Ben....his elbow is visible in the cap with the chief and the guy who shoots Ben aiming his Ithaca. It's probably the best danged cap in the entire movie. It's a real quick clip. (krispic) feb 21, 06:59
