I guess that the G88 magazine can be seen.

Unidentified rifles
The rifle on ShanghaiExpress-Rifle1.jpg seems to be a Mosin 91, judging by the shape of the magazine. Other rifles in this section make me think about Berthier though I'm not sure. --Greg-Z (talk) 07:16, 1 September 2021 (EDT)
- Thank you! I found a promotional picture showing a very slightly better view of one unknown rifle, maybe this will help. The rifle on ShanghaiExpress-Rifle5.jpg (lower half in the center) reminds me of a Gewehr 88 judging by the rear part and the rear sight but it has a different barrel and muzzle.--HighPhigh (talk) 03:17, 2 September 2021 (EDT)
- I agree, the rifle of Rifle5 is very likely a G88. As for me, the front section of the barrel matches G88, it's thick enough. I processed the image a little:
