Not a shotgun, an M1.

I'll take your word on the make of the weapon. In the trailer you only see the scene for a second and I admit I was admiring Clint's sneer. It being Hollywood, I assumed it was a shotgun.

I noticed it and thought that somebody knows what he's doing vis a vis the character. A shotgun is a civilian weapon. Clint, playing a Korean War vet should have an M1 in his hands. It's a good, smart touch.

I too have only seen the trailers, but for a casual gun nut such as myself it was instantly obvious to me that it was an M1 Garand, and as WTC said, it makes sense to the story that a Korean War vet would be comfortable with the weapon that he used in combat. Maybe there’s even a brief backstory about it in the movie, I dunno.

In any case, it’s a minor point, and I’d say 90% of Americans couldn’t tell the difference either.
