Dawn of the Dead is a 1978 sequel to 1968's Night of the Living Dead (1968). Set after the original outbreak, it sees society begin to collapse. Two news station workers, a intern named Francine (Gaylen Ross) and a news chopper pilot named Stephen (David Emge) decide to take the station's helicopter and leave the city before it's overrun. After meeting up with Philadelphia SWAT officers Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger), they soon run out of fuel and are forced to set up shop in a local mall overrun with the undead.
The following weapons appear in the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead:
Handguns
Arminius HW-5T Revolver
The Arminius HW-5T is utilized by Philadelphia SWAT, including Peter and Roger.
Röhm RG-38
While waiting for Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) to return as a zombie Peter (Ken Foree) appears to be holding a nickel plated snubnose Röhm RG-38, this same revolver is seen earlier in Roger's hands.
Thank you Phoenixent
Röhm RG-66
The revolver that Stephan finds in the maintenance office is a Röhm RG-66. He uses it throughout the film.
Ruger Single Six Revolver
A Ruger Single Six is seen loaded by "Flyboy" aka Stephen (David Emge).
Herters SA22
A Herters SA22 with pearl grips is carried around by Francine (Gaylen Ross) for most of the movie.
During the gun shop scene Peter is seen holstering what appears to be a pair Colt 1851 Navy black powder revolvers. Replicas manufactured by Uberti or Pietta. The brass frames indicate they are "Confederate" models and the stepped cylinders indicate they are .44 caliber. A brass framed .44 1851 never existed during the American Civil War however.
Smith & Wesson Model 10HB
During the SWAT raid in the beginning of the film, Martinez (Joe Shelby) is seen firing what appears to be a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver.
M1911A1
The Police Commander (Fred Baker), Blades (Tom Savini), and Peter all use the M1911A1.
Remington 1866 Derringer
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
The Astra Firecat pocket pistol is seen in the gunshop's lineup.
1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol
A nickel plated 1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol is one of the many pistols seen in the gun shop scene.
Harrington & Richardson Model 632
A Harrington & Richardson Model 632 is seen in the gun case along with several other pocket pistols.
Ortgies Pocket Pistol
An 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
The Smith & Wesson Model 64 appears in the display case of the armory.
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 an early M16, either an XM16E1 (with the birdcage flash hider and forward assist) or M16A1 (more likely).
Savage Model 99
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
The .22lr slide action Winchester Model 1906 can be seen circled in red in the gunstore.
