:Probably a Vektor R4/R5 modified to resemble an AK-47 based on the magazine. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] 09:25, 3 August 2011 (CDT)
:It's definitely a South African Vektor, look at the upward slant of the receiver ahead of the magazine well. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 13:52, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

This is a Vektor R5 or a Galil AR with a very short barrel - if something like that exists... Galil SAR maybe.- [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 06:47, 3 August 2011 (CDT)
::Most likely a Vektor R5 since the film was made in South Africa. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] 09:25, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

That looks like a Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle or at least a AR-15 made to resemble it. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 19:17, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

:It's indeed a Mark 12. Maybe someone who has seen this could explain to me why he doesn't have a scope, though. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 18:33, 11 December 2011 (CST)
:Actually, upon closer examination, notice that the handguard has only 4 holes, compared to the 7 or 8 on the Mark 12 pictured. This means it has a carbine-length barrel. What this is, is an A&K SPR Carbine, an airsoft gun. [http://www.tacticalairsoftct.com/products/A%26K-SPR-Carbine-Value-Package.html] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 18:42, 11 December 2011 (CST)

==Jungle carbine==
No way that's a jungle carbine. The rear iron sight placement alone indicates a longer rifle. If it is short (Can't see by the single screenshot) then it was cut down, as were many longer No 1 Mk IIIs or No 4 Mk 1s to make 'jungle carbines' during the war.

It has a magazine of an SMLE but the barrel looks like a Winchester. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 15:03, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Maybe it's a modified Enfield Enforcer? --[[User:Taurus96|Taurus96]] 17:53, 3 August 2011 (CDT).

I'd say it's a l42a1 or enforcer so it's chambered in 7.62 and fitted with a heavier barrel. both would make sense for everyones description and that its being used as an SWS.

Definitely not a Jungle Carbine, nor an L42A1 or Enforcer. The L42A1 and Enforcer were built on No 4 actions, and the Jungle Carbine on a modified version of that action, which can be distinguished readily by its flat sides and peep sight built into a bracket on the rear bridge. The conversions to 7.62 have a different-shaped magazine (less angled at the bottom). This one is built on a No 1 Mk III* action (aka SMLE III*) with the forend and handguard cut back to sporter form as was quite popular in former Commonwealth countries post WWII when these rifles were dumped onto the civilian market. The rear sight base and ramp remain in place but the leaf and elevator have been removed. The scope mount is an aftermarket (non-military) type as is the scope - which looks like a Tasco. IOW it is nothing more than a sporterised SMLE, probably in .303 (though cartridges based on the .303 necked down, eg .303/25, .303/270, were also popular in places like Australia). Dan M
