Shotguns

"Blunderbuss" Shotgun

The main weapon used by Loopers in the film 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.

Pistols

Magnum Research BFR "Gat"

"Gat men" employed by Abe (Jeff Daniels) all carry Magnum Research BFRs. We see both Joe and Old Joe firing BFRs. Jesse (Garret Dillahunt) also is armed with a BFR when he comes to Sara's farm, and Abe (Jeff Daniels) uses a BFR in a shootout.

Magnum Research BFR "Gat" (Nickel)

A nickel-plated and wooden 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 pistol and to facilitate fanning of the revolver.
