Top Five: Movie Shotguns
3) Winchester 1887 – Terminator 2
Just looking at the above picture, it makes me think that Terminator 2 might just be awesome as hell if Jim Cameron were to do a 3D conversion for the movie. When done correctly, it can blow your socks off, as seen in Titanic or Jurassic Park. Another way it could work, looking right through the T-1000’s open metal wounds. Anyway, this legendary weapon is the Wincester 1887 lever loop shotgun, of course. The real deal was used in the movie, one with a larger lever to complete the spin-cocking action. Schwarzenegger injured his hand when accidentally using the standard version, as mentioned by Jim Cameron on the commentary track for this movie.
The gun sounds awesome, you’ll remember, and the reason for that is the recording of two canon being fired at once, then used to simulate the real gun report. Sounds better than ‘crack’ you’d have otherwise heard.
