Gran Torino

Gran Torino (2008)

The following weapons were used in the film Gran Torino:

M1 Garand

Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) uses an M1 Garand that he kept from the Korean War to chase Thao Vang Lor (Bee Vang) out of his garage and scare the Hmong gangmembers off his lawn. Walt accidentally fires it when slipping in his garage when he is chasing after Thao.

M1 Garand - .30-06.

Walt loads an "en-bloc" into his M1 Garand (which looks to be loaded with blanks) when he hears Thao in his garage.

Walt aims his M1 Garand at Thao in the garage.

"Get off my lawn!"
Walt brings out his M1 at the gang members who harass Thao.

"We used to stack fucks like you five feet high in Korea and use you for sand bags."

Walt keeps his M1 Garand rested against the stove in the kitchen.

Thao asks if he can use Walt's M1 Garand to get revenge on the Hmong gang, but shows him right away his lack of firearms training as he breaks all three gun safety rules at once. That is, he didn't check to see if it was loaded, wrapped his finger around the trigger, and flags Walt with the muzzle.

M1911A1

Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) uses a pre-war commercial M1911A1 (as evidenced by the blue finish) that he kept from the Korean War to aim at the "Spooks" to scare them away from Thao's sister Sue Lor (Ahney Her), and is seen carrying it around in many scenes. Walt carries it around in his belt without a holster.

M1911A1 - .45 ACP.

Walt holds his M1911A1 on the "spooks" when threatening them for "fucking with the wrong guy."

Walt chambers his M1911A1 when outside Smokie's (Sonny Vue) house.

Walt beats and threatens Smokie with his M1911A1 after Smokie burns Thao with a cigarette and breaks his tools.

Walt cleans his field-stripped M1911A1 with a gun and reel cloth.

Remington 870

Martin the Barber (John Carroll Lynch) jokingly pulls a Remington 870 shotgun on Thao (Bee Vang) when he doesn't properly ask for a haircut as Walt (Clint Eastwood) tries to teach him how.

Remington 870 Police Magnum Riot Shotgun - 12 Gauge.

‎

Martin the Barber (John Carroll Lynch) jokingly pulls a Remington 870 shotgun on Thao (Bee Vang) when he doesn't properly ask for a haircut. Instead, he teaches Thao that when you greet someone as a "old Italian prick", you're liable to get your head blown off.

Walt grabs the Remington 870 shotgun and directs it away from Thao. Note the lack of trigger discipline. Although, considering the lack of focus, it is possible that he has his finger resting on the trigger guard. Despite his intentions were to scare Thao, aiming a loaded weapon at him in a ready to fire position is dangerous enough, but putting his finger on the trigger either shows the actor is an amateur, or Martin is one dangerous barber.
