In the finale, Ching uses a [[Barrett M82A1]] alongside his Type 85, engaging in a lengthy duel with Fang, Chen and the rest of the SDU sniper team. We could note that between the moment when he is filmed from his back and from his front, his rifle switches from a G3SG/1 to the Barrett M82A1. In the French version, Fang says Ching is using a 50 millimeters as opposed to .50 inches.
