Tremors (1990)


William Moore & Co. 8 gauge shotgun

Burt Gummer's (Michael Gross) "Elephant Gun" is a Belgian-made William Moore & Co. 8-gauge firing solid slugs. It is used to finish off the Graboid that busts into Burt's rec room. Shotgun was provided by Ellis Mercantile for the Tremors Movie. When it was thrown from the truck to the rock in was dropped and the stock shattered at the wrist due to the 12.5 pounds that the shotgun weighs.

Colt AR-15 Sporter II

Heather (Reba McEntire) fires several magazines from a Colt AR-15 Sporter II at the attacking Graboid that breaks into the rec room. When abandoning his home, Burt pauses to ask Heather whether he should take a .458 rifle or an M16A2 rifle, Heather advising him to take the .458 since it would have "better penetration". However, this is inaccurate, because the weapon is not an M16A2; if you look closely at the rifle while it's on the wall, it has an M16A1-style upper receiver and slab-side lower receiver, which indicate it's an AR-15 Sporter II. The rifle is only fired on semi-auto during the basement scene, but it might be a full-auto conversion, since American armories stocked many such weapons in the 1980s and 90s.

Heather (Reba McEntire) fires her AR-15 in the rec room scene, though in reality shooting any type of gun in that small of space would be deafening and even more so to the graboid since they claim it was highly sensitive to sound.

Remington 870

Burt (Michael Gross) uses a Remington 870 to fire multiple shots at the Graboid in the rec room and then uses it to break the glass on the case containing the elephant gun.

Winchester 1200 Defender

Heather (Reba McEntire) uses this pistol-gripped Winchester 1200 shotgun in Defender Configuration, to shoot off the tentacle of the Graboid attacking Burt in the rec room. The angled pistol grip attached to the back of the receiver makes it a Winchester.

Winchester Model 1894

This 30-30 caliber lever-action rifle is found on Edgar's (Sunshine Parker) body who had died of dehydration on a tower. Val (Kevin Bacon) later uses it in the first encounter with the Graboids but ditches it when they're being chased.

Winchester Model 70

Heather (Reba McEntire) has one of these Winchester Model 70s chambered in .375 H&H Mag with a scope in her possession and passes it off to Earl (Fred Ward) when he and Val are about to ride off to Bixby by horseback, he loses it however when his horse is attacked. Heather (Reba McEntire) later totes another chambered in .458 Win Mag at the start of the rec room scene, she carries it again later as the town escapes to the mountains and fires a few rounds at some Graboid dirtmounds. She even says in the film it's a .458 and Burt should bring it due to its better penetration and less ammo to carry.
