Dawn of the Dead (1978)

The following weapons appear in the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead:

Adler-Jager AP-74

Used by all SWAT members , in particular, the characters of Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) but eventually discarded after raiding the gun store. In one shot, when Peter is unloading his weapon after shooting the zombie kids, we can see the tiny .22lr magazine. The Adler-Jager (also marked Armi-Jager) AP-74 is an inexpensive .22 AR15 clone (that was actually pretty close to an SP1 and much better looking than the .22 M16 clone made by Armscor). The guns were pretty much 'mime' fired, with only the sound effect and blood squibs to indicate that the rifle was fired and is used in place of the M16A1.

Adler-Jager AP74 rifle - .22 LR. Note the sharply angled three prong flash hider and the forward assist, and the small .22 LR magazine that protrudes under the 'fake' 20 round magazine.

Peter (Ken Foree) aims his Adler-Jager AP-74 (standing in for a real SP1 or M16). The AP-74 was a .22lr M16 clone that had characteristics of both the SP1 and M16A1. - 22LR

The Armorers for the movie was an East Coast outfit called "The Plastics Factory", however other information on them are unavailable.

Break Top Shotgun

Seen in the hands of Martinez's men in the beginning of the film, also seen later in the hands of "rednecks".

Multiple M101 Howitzers can be seen being transported by the National Guard.

National Guard M101/M2A1 Howitzer - 105mm

Ruger Single Six

A Colt Peacemaker single action type revolver is used by one of the survivors.

Roger appears to be loading this gun with .22 rounds, so that would mean it is most likely a Single Six. It could still be a Peacemaker, but Roger loaded it with blank rounds.

As with many other guns in this film it appears to be a .22 also.

Single Action

This scene always had me confused

Smith & Wesson Model 36

While waiting for Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) to return as a zombie Peter (Ken Foree) appears to be holding a nickle plated S&W Model 36. There is a possibility that it is the stainless steel Model 60 as well.

It has ribbing over the barrel which means it might be a nickel Colt Trooper gun. - Gunmaster45

I agree.That sure isn't a S&W revolver. I remembered it as a S&W but now I think it might be an F.I.E. revolver. --Jcordell 01:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Jcordell

During the gun shop scene a character is seen holstering what appears to be a pair of Colt Navy 1851 black powder revolvers. Probably replicas manufactured by Uberti.

Savage 99 rifle

Peter (Ken Foree) takes a scoped Savage 99 lever action rifle, chambered in 300 Savage, from the gun store for his personal use. He later uses it against the bikers when they invade the mall.

Peter:"The only man that could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it"

Peter chambers a round on his Savage Model 99, showcasing the rifle's lever action assembly - .300 Savage

Peter's view through the Savage 99's scope. Peter tells Stephen not to fire through the security doors, lest the ricochets 'chase them around' in the store, however, the metal in the security doors are a combination of aluminum and soft steel, easily punctured by any of the high powered rifle ammo.

Ammo boxes of .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition (The words 300 magnum are clearly seen on the box and the artwork of the casing says "Winchester"). Since the Savage Model 99 was never chambered in .300 Win Mag, this is a error.

Marlin Model 25

Steve originally uses this rifle but is incompetent with it. During the sequence when Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) and Peter (Ken Foree) are venturing forth from the safety of the mall to get the trucks Fran (Galen Ross) is providing cover fire from the roof of the mall with a rifle. It appears to be a 22 caliber rifle based on the bore size.
