He used an old Winchester "Thuddy-Thuddy".

 "At a Thursday press conference, RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson confirmed that Zehaf-Bibeau had carried out the shootings with a Winchester 30-30 lever action rifle, a quintessentially Canadian bush gun that is not normally the first choice of would-be terrorists."

The Winchester Model 1894 .30-30 does have a history of use by revolutionaries early in the 20th Century. In fact there is an old Mexican revolutionary song celebrating it: "Carabina .30-30" (Trienta-Trienta).

Carabina 30-30
 Que los rebeldes portaban
 Y Decian los maderistas
 Que con ella no mataban

 Carabina 30-30
 Que los rebeldes portaban
 Y Decian los maderistas
 Que con ella no mataban

 Con mi 30-30
 Me voy a marchar
 A engrosar las filas de la rebelion
 Si mi sangre piden, me sangre les doy
 Por los habitantes de nuestra nacion.

In English:

The 30/30 carbine
Carried by the rebels
According to the Maderistas
Did not really kill

I'm off to battle with my 30/30
I entered the rebel ranks
If it's blood they ask for, blood I'll give them
For the people of our nation

Fransico Villa cried out
Where are you Argumedo?
Come and stand up in front
You, who are never afraid

I'm off to battle with my 30/30
I entered the rebel ranks
If it's blood they ask for, blood I'll give them
For the people of our nation

We've headed for Chihuahua
Your Indian saint is leaving town
If they kill me in the war
Go and mourn me on hallowed ground

I'm off to battle with my 30/30
I entered the rebel ranks
If it's blood they ask for, blood I'll give them
For the people of our nation
