When his gun was booked into evidence, it was listed as a Smith and Wesson Model 686, serial number AAH8939. It contained six fired Winchester Western +P cases.
The bad guy's guns are fairly mundane, too. I've seen the infamous Mini-14 reported as a full auto, but it was a plain jane 184 series Mini (184-95273). They had a six inch 586 and a six inch Dan Wesson .357, and their shotgun was a Smith and Wesson Model 3000, loaded with number six birdshot.
There's no cause for much speculation - all the info is here:
