E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

The following firearms are used in the film E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial:

Shotgun

During the kids' frantic escape from the authorities, a detective at the roadblock is seen brandishing a pump-action shotgun. For the film's 2002 20th anniversary re-release, director Steven Spielberg controversially either deleted or altered shots of the policeman. Two closeups of the shotgun itself were deleted entirely, and, for the climactic scene of E.T. using his powers to make the kids' bicycles fly over the roadblock, the shotgun was digitally replaced with a walkie talkie.

Barrel of the weapon in a shot of the detective deleted from the '02 version.

Another shot of the gun, also removed from the '02 version.
