12 Gauge Pump Shotgun
This is a page for all of the 'mystery' pump shotguns in films (usually obscure models from foreign makers). As more information is gathered, these guns will be identified.
Also there is a guide to recognizing pump shotguns by noting the specific details which make them unique.
12 Gauge Pump Shotgun Recognition Guide
Just like the Big Three Auto makers in the U.S. (GM, Chrysler & Ford), there are the Big Three Pump Shotgun makers in the U.S. - Remington, Winchester and Mossberg. Most pump shotguns that appear in films are one of these manufacturers, no offense to fine makers like Savage, Stevens, Browning, etc. There are far more Side by Side and O/U Shotgun makers represented in the U.S. and the world (especially the high priced European makers), but most of the Pump shotguns used by police/military/civilians are from one of these three U.S. companies.
Most of the recognition picture aids will deal with the most common models of these three gun makers.
The Difference between the back receivers, pin placement and trigger guard/assemblies
What is the difference between the Mossberg 500 and the Mossberg 590?
Well, one can always check online as to the internal and structural differences between the two models. But sometimes Model 500s are sold with heat shields, so that makes them harder to distinguish in a movie whether they are 500s or 590s.
