Top Five: Movie Shotguns
5) Modified Mossberg 5500 – RoboCop
The old boom stick is one of the manliest weapons you’re going to see in movies. Time for a list of the best to appear on our screens. Starting with Clarence Boddicker’s modified Mossberg 5500. I like the futuristic look of this weapon, for the ’80s at least, very badass, slick and minimal. This is an unusual shotgun and created by production. A shortened barrel is covered with a heat shield. Additional modification includes a telescoping wire stock taken from a Daewoo K1-A1 rifle. In the movie this weapon is actually OCP property, with Boddicker owning it before Dick Jones gives him (un)official access to their armouries. Boddicker is a cop killer, so we can speculate how he ended up with it…
