A New England Firearms Pardner Single Shot Breach loading Shotgun is used by Ash (Bruce Campbell) in the movie. The New England Firearms Pardner is a very common, cheap Single Barreled Shotgun. It is apparently a 20 gauge, as the shells used in the movie are yellow.
The affordable single barrel shotgun was purchased by Bruce Campbell at a Kmart for its specific use in the film. Since the budget was extremely low, and where they where filming was secluded in the woods, live ammunition was used for a couple of scenes.

For other scenes, Bruce Campbell simply mime-fires the shotgun. At the end of production, star Bruce Campbell and Producer Robert Tapert bought about a hundred shells and shot up every prop used in the cabin. The resulting rubble was then lit into a huge barn fire by director Sam Raimi.
