in the make up mirror, to kill the hours waiting inside the Shopping Mall - .22 LR.]]
During the gun shop scene Peter is seen holstering what appears to be a pair Colt 1851 Navy black powder revolvers. Probably replicas manufactured by Uberti.
Smith & Wesson Model 10HB
M1911A1
The Police Commander (Fred Baker), Blades, and Peter all use the M1911A1.
1866 Derringer pistol
Peter(Ken Foree) contemplates committing suicide with this gun until he decides to go with Fran (Gaylen Ross) to help protect her and her unborn baby.
The Derringer in the store is Chambered in .41, where the one Peter (Ken Foree) uses is chambered in .22
Astra Firecat
1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol
Harrington & Richardson Model 632
A Harrington & Richardson Model 632 is seen in the gun case along with several other pocket pistols.
Ortgies Pocket Pistol
A Ortgies Pocket Pistol is seen in the display case on the far right.
Colt Python
During the famous gunstore sequence there is a brief glimpse of a Colt Python in the display case. It is taken but never used.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
Rifles & Carbines
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.
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.
Marlin Model 983
Stephen originally uses a Marlin Model 983 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 (Gaylen Ross) is providing cover fire from the roof of the mall with a rifle.
Winchester 1906
