Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Jack Carter (Michael Caine) finds a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in his dead brother's house, and decides to take it. What's interesting is that, despite the fact he's extensively seen with the shotgun, he does not fire it in the film. In the book that inspired the film, Jack Returns Home, the shotgun is meant to symbolise Jack's memories of going hunting with his brother, but in the film this meaning is lost.
