This video delves into the creation of a prop 8-gauge double-barreled shotgun for the movie "Appaloosa" (2008). Motion picture armorer Larry Zanoff from Independent Studio Services (ISS) explains the challenges of sourcing three identical antique 8-gauge shotguns for a film with a limited budget. The discussion highlights how ISS manufactured a prop that mimics the appearance of the massive shotgun used by Viggo Mortensen's character, Everett Hitch, revealing that the on-screen firearm is not quite what it seems.
