3 From Hell is the third in a series of horror films by director Rob Zombie, following House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Otis Driftwood (Bill Moseley), Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie) and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) have survived despite being severely wounded in the shootout at the police roadblock in the second film. Approximately ten years later, their violent journey continues.
The following weapons were used in the film 3 From Hell:
In the beginning of the film, a television news story about the shootout at the police roadblock (in The Devil's Rejects) includes an image of Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) with an unidentified revolver.
Aquarius (Emilio Rivera) carries an engraved Colt Combat Commander blank-firing replica with bright finish and gold-plated components. Foxy briefly has possession of the pistol.
M1911A1
In the beginning of the film, a television news story about the shootout at the police roadblock includes an image of Otis lying next to an M1911A1 Airsoft.
Shotguns
Remington 870
Prison guards and a sheriff's deputy are equipped with Remington 870 Airsoft shotguns. Foxy uses one throughout most of the film. In the beginning of the film, a television news story about the shootout at the police roadblock includes an image of Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) with a shotgun.
Rifles
M4A1
The Black Satans use M4A1 Airsoft rifles with the carry handle removed and CQB-R Type QD rear sight for Airsoft rifles. Otis also uses one. The film is set ca. 1988, several years before the M4A1 was produced. According to the Blu-Ray special feature To Hell and Back: The Making of 3 From Hell several blank-firing replicas are also used. However determining which rifles are Airsoft or blank-firing is difficult.
