Underworld II Shotgun



Anyone saw this movie and knows what shotgun this is? I like the flashlight setup on it, and would like to purchase the same thing...

I haven't seen the movie and don't know what the shotgun is, but some company does, or did, make a flashlight that simply replaced the magazine end cap on the Remington 870.

You just unscrewed the magazine cap, and screwed on the flashlight that also acts as a magazine cap.

I would imagine that you could have most any machine shop make you a coupling that would serve the same purpose.
The Remington factory magazine extension uses a coupling that screws onto the magazine tube, then the extension tube screws into that.
It would be a fairly simple job to make a similar coupling with one end threaded to fit the magazine tube, and the other threaded to fit the threads on a good flash light.

It would be even simpler and easier to just buy a Remington factory magazine extension coupling from Gun Parts or direct from Remington, then have an adapter bushing made up.
One end would be threaded to fit the coupling, the other threaded to fit a flashlight.

I finally saw the movie Sunday (bought the DVD about 6-7 months ago but didn't watch it until Sunday). It appeared to be an 870 with either the tactical or aftermarket furniture. At first I thought it could have been a Win 1300 when it first appeared but after a few more minutes it there was a better shot of it and it did look like an 870 but can't be totally sure as the frames when frozen were still not crystal clear and no, I don't have HD yet. The grip was mostly covered up or too dark to see so I couldn't tell from the contour of the front of it and the rounded back end of the 870 bolt was not easy to see. I'll have to look again.

You need to get a life. Choosing a shotgun based on movies is not real bright.

Hmm, I don't know. I bought a SPAS-12 to see how it performs after seeing it a couple of times on the screen. (Most notable being Terminator.) My bulb must have burned out.

She was borrowing the weapon from a human security force.

Should still work once lifted out of water, don't shoot it under the water or you're in for a bad time. Just need to make sure the water drains out of the barrel. I wouldn't recomend it but didn't see the movie so not sure if she was shooting under water. Water sure can stop bullets fast, rounds like a .30-06 only penetrate a foot or two into water before disinegrating and stoping all together.

And look at what happens if you get some hard packed snow or worse dirt in the end of a shotgun, green stick fracture!
