Mud is a 2012 drama written and directed by Jeff Nichols about two young boys who encounter a fugitive and form a pact to help him evade the vigilantes that are on his trail, and to reunite him with his true love. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Sam Shepard, and Reese Witherspoon.
The following weapons were used in the film Mud (2012):
Mud (Matthew McConaughey) carries a 1911 in the back of his belt in lieu of having no holster throughout the film. It appears to be a Colt MK IV Series 70 based on the A1-style arched mainspring housing and gold medallions on the grips, and Mud specifically refers to it as a .45. The gun is never fired in the film, but he uses it to barter with Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) and gives it to him at the end of the film when their deal is finished (after unloading the weapon).
During the climactic shootout at Ellis' house, his father Senior (Ray McKinnon) uses what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolver. Though the revolver is seen only briefly and never in detail, it does resemble a Model 15 since it has an ejector rod socket as opposed to an ejector rod shroud like the Smith & Wesson Model 19.
During the final shootout, one of Carver's (Paul Sparks) bounty hunters opens fire on Mud with a semi-auto Remington 1100 shotgun. Mud manages to get ahold of the 1100 and return fire until it runs dry.
