==Futuristic "Blunderbuss" Shotgun==
 
==Futuristic "Blunderbuss" Shotgun==
−
The main weapon used by Loopers in the film like Joe ([[Joseph Gordon-Levitt]]) and Seth ([[Paul Dano]]) is a futuristic shotgun dubbed the "Blunderbuss". The pump action firearm is fitted with a futuristic barrel sheath. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearm it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real [[Blunderbuss]], it is capable of firing multiple rounds. While largely custom made (the handle, for example, is "a Waterjet piece clad with the custom wood grips"), a large part of the barrel of the "Blunderbuss" is the Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-5005 12.520" Smooth Series Forearm (Rifle Length) with hand-machined parts on the front and rear of the forearm. The front of the barrel also features what is most likely a Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-262 Fixed Bipod Stud.

Fixed sights were sculpted in place of the rear adjustable sight.

Looper is a 2012 American action/science-fiction film written and directed by Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi). Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Joe, a hitman who works in the year 2044 as a "Looper", a specialist in eliminating individuals who have been sent back in time from 2074. Joe's world begins to fall apart when he recognizes that one of his targets is his older self (portrayed by Bruce Willis) and allows him to escape. The film's cast included Emily Blunt and Jeff Daniels.


The following weapons were used in the film Looper:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Shotguns

Futuristic "Blunderbuss" Shotgun

The main weapon used by Loopers in the film like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Seth (Paul Dano) is a futuristic shotgun dubbed the "Blunderbuss". The pump-action firearm is fitted with a futuristic barrel sheath. It bears a close resemblance to the 18th Century firearm it takes its name from. The weapon is mentioned by Kid Blue (Noah Segan) to be short-ranged, capable only of hitting targets 15 paces away, but unlike a real Blunderbuss, it is capable of firing multiple rounds. While largely custom made (the handle, for example, is "a Waterjet piece clad with the custom wooden grips"), a large part of the barrel of the "Blunderbuss" is the Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-5005 12.520" Smooth Series Forearm (Rifle Length) with hand-machined parts on the front and rear of the forearm. The front of the barrel also features what is most likely a Yankee Hill Machine Company YHM-262 Fixed Bipod Stud.

Remington 870 Wingmaster

Handguns

Magnum Research BFR

"Gat Men" employed by Abe (Jeff Daniels) all carry Magnum Research BFRs. Both Joe and Old Joe (Bruce Willis) are seen firing acquired BFRs. Jesse (Garret Dillahunt) is also armed with a BFR when he comes to Sara's farm, and Abe (Jeff Daniels) uses a BFR in a shootout.

Magnum Research BFR (Nickel)

A nickel-plated and wood-gripped version of the BFR is carried by Kid Blue (Noah Segan). Prop Master James Kroning mentions in an IGN video that the rear sight was removed to provide better balance when spinning the revolver and to facilitate fanning of the gun. Fixed sights were sculpted in place of the rear adjustable sight.
