Mr Majestyk (1974)

Mossberg 500

Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson) is threatened by Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo) with a ribbed-barrel Mossberg 500 near the start of the film, though Majestyk quickly takes it from him and fires at his truck. Although he returns the shotgun at the end of the scene, Majestyk keeps the exact same shotgun on a gun rack in his home, and uses it during the final shootout. At one point, he gives the shotgun to Nancy Chavez (Linda Cristal) and asks her if she knows how to use it, to which she naively replies "...just point and pull the trigger, right?".

Hiding in the back of his truck as Nancy drives, Majestyk gets ready to fire at Renda's henchmen. The shotgun's ejection port indicates that it's converted to fire blanks. Also, this is an obvious stunt man for Charles Bronson

Colt Python

During Frank Renda's (Al Lettieri) breakout, both several mobsters and police use 4" Colt Pythons. Wiley (Lee Purcell) has a Python in her car, which Renda takes and uses for the rest of the film. His right-hand man Gene Lundy (Taylor Lacher) also keeps a Python.

Bolt-Action Rifle

During the final gunfight, Majestyk briefly uses a Bolt-Action Rifle of unknown make or model to fire at Renda. He then drops it in favor of a more "hands on" approach with his Mossberg 500.
