Big gun in Tremors

[Anders]

In the fantastic movie Tremors, Burt Gummer uses a very big gun at about 2:00 and forward. Anyone know what kind of gun it is and what kind of stats it has? How much would it cost in an AtE campaign?

Looks like the William Moore & Co 8 gauge.


(And thanks to the Internet Movie Firearms Database. I have no clue about this stuff on my own.)

Ok, so the biggest shotgun I could find in High-Tech is a 10G. This one is bigger. Holy moly.

And note that he was using solid slugs in it, not shot. That's gotta be nasty.

Actually, isn't one of the TL5 shotguns an 8G? Or am I remembering one of the TL4 ones from Low-Tech?

Adventure guns has a couple of 8G shot guns (listed with shot stats, but which could be converted to slug coming in about 8d-4 = 7d or 7d-1 pi++ I think. The Greener 8 gauge elephant gun in the same book is rated at 6d+2 pi++ which is the same as the gun in Tremors. So all three functionally the same in damage terms.

Ok, thanks a lot everybody! Now I know where to look and point to. :o)

Some of the guns from Tremors are written up in "fire power at the movies" Pyramid 31 And yep the William Moore Double rifle 8 gauge is in there.

In all seriousness, Burt Gummer is the most accurate depiction of a member of the american gun culture ever put on film.

Best part, IMO, is when he gives the kid a gun as a confidence boost. When the kid goes to shoot it, it's empty. The kid is understandably angry, and Burt tells him he wasn't about to give an untrained kid a loaded gun. The kid gives him back the empty gun... and Burt gives it a safety check to make sure it's unloaded. Burt Gummer, responsible gun owner.

In Tremors 4 (a prequel from about 100 years before), his ancestor bought what I think is called a "punt gun"?
