''TRIVIA: Chris Kyle, in a piece for Soldier of Fortune wrote that he "took the lower receiver off [his] (sic) M-4 and put it on the upper receiver of [his] Mk-12. That gave [him] a collapsible stock and allowed [him] to go full-auto." By stating that he could "go full-auto", he very clearly meant an [[M4A1 Carbine]], not the burst fire only [[M4 Carbine]], but some use "M4" as an umbrella term to refer to both. Additionally, he could have simply put a collapsible stock and full auto trigger pack on his Mk-12, he didn't need to change the lower for that, it was likely just done as it'd be easier than cannibalizing parts off of an M4A1.'' | |||

==Springfield TRP Operator== | |||
Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle ([[Bradley Cooper]]) briefly carries a [[Springfield TRP]] during his first tour, visible in a thigh rig holster and/or a leather belt holster. He later switches to a SIG pistol (from his second tour on), which should be a .45 ACP [[SIG-Sauer P220]] (according to Kyle's autobiography and Independent Studio Services, which provided the arsenal for the movie –Recoil Magazine Issue 18, USA), but might be a P226 on some shots. In real life, Kyle's Springfield TRP Operator was a personal sidearm of choice during his first tour before it was damaged by shrapnel, prompting him to switch to a modern design sidearm onward on his later tours. | |||

Starting from his second tour to the rest of the movie, Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle ([[Bradley Cooper]]) carries a [[SIG-Sauer P220]] as his sidearm in a brown leather hip holster.

Like the Springfield TRP Operator, the SIG-Sauer P220 was a personal sidearm of choice of Kyle's when he made the switch later in his military service. | |||

American Sniper is a 2014 biographical war film directed by Clint Eastwood with a screenplay by Jason Hall. Based on Chris Kyle's autobiography American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, the film stars Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle and Sienna Miller as his wife Taya Ranae Kyle.
The following weapons were used in the film American Sniper:
Sniper Rifles
McMillan TAC-338A
Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) uses a McMillan TAC-338A rifle as one of his main weapons. The weapon is fitted with a Leupold Mark 4. The rifle is also similar in appearance to the TAC-338 rifle that Kyle used in real life.

Remington Mk 13 Mod 0
During his first tour in Iraq, Kyle uses a Remington Mk 13 Mod 0, based off the Remington Model 700, chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. The weapon is fitted with a McMillan A2 stock, Nightforce NXS scope, Harris bipod, MIRS night vision rail, and Knight's Armament M110 suppressor.

M24A1 Sniper Weapon System
The US Delta Sniper (Joel Lambert) accompanying Kyle in his fourth tour has a M24A1 Sniper Weapon System.

M40A3
A Marine Recon Scout Sniper (Tony Nevada) that accompanies Kyle on a mission in Iraq is seen firing a M40A3 Sniper Rifle while engaging insurgents in Sadr City.

Knight's Armament SR-25

Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle
Kyle uses a Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle with a tan paint scheme, Harris bipod, Crane stock, Leupold Mark 4 scope, and suppressor while training to be a sniper. Other SEALs are also seen using the rifles in Iraq.
TRIVIA: Chris Kyle, in a piece for Soldier of Fortune wrote that he "took the lower receiver off [his] (sic) M-4 and put it on the upper receiver of [his] Mk-12. That gave [him] a collapsible stock and allowed [him] to go full-auto." By stating that he could "go full-auto", he very clearly meant an M4A1 Carbine, not the burst fire only M4 Carbine, but some use "M4" as an umbrella term to refer to both. Additionally, he could have simply put a collapsible stock and full auto trigger pack on his Mk-12, he didn't need to change the lower for that, it was likely just done as it'd be easier than cannibalizing parts off of an M4A1.

Colt Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB
Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) and many of the U.S. Navy SEALs use tan-painted Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB carbines with various accessories ranging from suppressors, AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PEQ-15 IR designators, Crane stocks, LMT rear sights, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sights, and EOTech holographic sights. According to Independent Studio Services, the prophouse which supplied the weapons used in the film, Kyle's Mk 18 is built on an XM16E1 lower receiver and the same rifle was used with different accessories to represent different points in Kyle's career.
Colt M4A1 Carbine
U.S. Army soldiers and some of the Navy SEALs use M4A1 carbines with various attachments, including EOTech holographic sights, Trijicon ACOG scopes and the M203 grenade launcher. Defense Intelligence Agency contractor agent Snead (Eric Close) carries a M4A1 with a Trijicon ACOG scope.

In real life, Kyle's Springfield TRP Operator was a personal sidearm of choice during his first tour before it was damaged by shrapnel, prompting him to switch to a modern design sidearm onward on his later tours.
SIG-Sauer P220
Starting from his second tour to the rest of the movie, Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) carries a SIG-Sauer P220 as his sidearm in a brown leather hip holster. According to ISS, Kyle's SIG is an original West German model. Like the Springfield TRP Operator, the SIG-Sauer P220 was a personal sidearm of choice of Kyle's when he made the switch later in his military service.
