Denzel Washington as Eli
Remington 870 - 12 gauge
As a mysterious wanderer in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Denzel
Washington's character utilizes many unusual arms, including this
radically shortened pump-action Remington shotgun. Cut down
to the end of the magazine tube, the stock has also been
abbreviated with a crude pistol grip wrapped in tape. Eli carried
this shotgun in an over-the-shoulder holster for quick access. Each
of the primary market posters for this film prominently features
this shotgun's distinctive pistol grip.
