They used mechanical sharks to make the Jaws movies. They used three models to make the original film. All of them were nicknamed "Bruce," after Steven Spielberg's lawyer. They probably did not use the same models for the sequels, since the models were notoriously unreliable and always breaking down.

How does speilberg build up fear of the shark in the film jaws?
The film used music to build fear. For the majority of time the robotic shark malfunctioned during filming which turned out to be a good thing because the end result was much more frighting without the shark in the picture. The second the music starts even though you can't see the shark you know he's there, some where and that someone is about to have a bad day.
If Jaws is not real then how do you explain the little boy's cut off leg?
I'm not sure what little boy you're talking about. In the original Jaws, the little boy named Alex Kintner is killed by the shark, but his leg is not cut off.The shark bites off the leg of the man who is killed right after Alex (the man in the rowboat in the lagoon, who was trying to help Chief Brody's son and his friends, who were on a sailboat).Is that what you meant? Or are you talking about a shark attack that happened in real life?Deaths in horror movies are not real. No movie has ever depicted an actual death on screen. Nothing you see in the movies -- ANY movie, horror or not -- is real.MOVIES ARE NOT REAL. The fact that fictional characters were killed in the movie Jaws does not mean that Jaws is real.People in horror movies get killed by monsters and villains all the time. Plenty of fictional characters have been killed by Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Godzilla, King Kong, the Cloverfield monster...that doesn't make these monsters/killers "real."Jaws is not real.
