Jaws (1975)

The following weapons were used in the film Jaws (1975):

M1 Garand

Quint (Robert Shaw) keeps an M1 Garand aboard his boat and is seen using it during the shark's night attack. Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) uses the Garand against the shark at the climax of the film. Several Coast Guard members are also armed with M1s, most notably when they surround the two boys wearing a fake shark fin.

"Smile you son of a...!" Brody takes one more shot with the Garand.

M1 Carbine

One of the men patrolling the waters on the Fourth of July is armed with an M1 Carbine. The rifle, which is often without a magazine loaded, appears to be fitted with adjustable rear sights as seen on post-WW2 M1 Carbines, but without the bayonet lug.

A deleted scene shows a shark hunter firing into the water with the revolver.

Greener Light Harpoon Gun

The harpoon gun used by Quint (Robert Shaw) is a Greener Light Harpoon Gun with a nickel finish. He stores the rifle in its original take-down case, and the line holder has been removed from the forend and the reel is instead attached to the ship to handle bigger fish like sharks.

12 Gauge Double Barreled shotgun

During the chaotic point in the movie, when the fishermen descend on the town in search of the reward on the shark, one of the hunters carries what looks like a Stevens 311A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. This is from a deleted scene that can be viewed in the 30th Anniversary Edition's extras features.
