Revision as of 02:20, 23 April 2017
Dawn of the Dead is a 1978 sequel to 1968's Night of the Living Dead. 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 low on fuel and set up shop in a local mall overrun with the undead.
The following weapons appear in the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
M1911A1
The Police Commander (Fred Baker), Blades (Tom Savini), and Peter all carry 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.
Revolvers
Arminius HW-5T Revolver
The Arminius HW-5T is a common revolver in the movie, used by the apartment dwellers in the beginning as well as the Philadelphia SWAT team, including Peter and Roger.
Röhm RG-38
When the Project Apartments residents charge the SWAT team, Martinez (Joe Shelby) used a nickel-plated snubnose Röhm RG-38. While waiting for Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) to return as a zombie Peter (Ken Foree) appears to be holding another (more than likely the same) nickel-plated snubnose Röhm RG-38. This same revolver is seen earlier in Roger's hands.
Röhm RG-66
The revolver that Stephen finds in the maintenance office is a Röhm RG-66. He uses it throughout the film. In a continuity error, Wooley's Arminius turns into Stephen's Röhm RG-66.
Herters SA22
A Herters SA22 with pearl grips is carried around by Francine (Gaylen Ross) for most of the movie.
Shotguns
Smith & Wesson 916A
The Smith & Wesson 916A shotgun is seen during the SWAT raid at the beginning of the film, carried by Wooley and other SWAT officers. Later on, the shotgun returns in the hands of one of the bikers raiding the mall.
Mossberg 500
A Mossberg 500 can be seen along the many other firearms handed out to the bikers.
Single Shot Breach loading Shotgun
A 12 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun is seen in the hands of Martinez's men in the beginning of the film, also in the hands of "rednecks".
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1921AC
One of the bikers, Mousey (Larry Vaira) who invade the mall near the end is seen using a M1921AC Thompson Submachine Gun with a 50 round drum magazine. Another biker is also seen with one.
MP40
The MP40 submachine gun is seen very briefly when the bikers first raid the mall.
Rifles & Carbines
Adler-Jager AP-74
The standard issue rifle to both the Philadelphia SWAT team and the United States National Guard in the movie is the Adler-Jager AP-74s standing in for the actual M16. Many shots reveal the AP-74's very small magazine and different flashhider. For most of the movie, the AP-74's are never actually fired, more mimed fired by the actors with sound and muzzle flash added afterwards. It's used by Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) from the beginning all the way until they raid the mall's gun shop.
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) provides cover fire from the roof of the mall with it.
Other
M101 Howitzer
Multiple M101 Howitzers can be seen being transported by the U.S. Army National Guard.
M26A1 Grenade
The bikers arsenal includes a number of grenades, including a few M26 HE Frag fragmentation grenades.

The Gun Store Weapons
Astra M200 "Firecat"

During the gun shop scene, Peter is seen holstering what appears to be a pair of Colt 1851 Navy black powder revolvers. More than likely they are replicas manufactured by Uberti or Pietta.
