The following weapons were used in the film The Sniper:
Fang Keming (Richie Ren) and officers of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) use Smith & Wesson Model 10HB revolvers during a scene where triad members attack a prisoner convoy.
Pistols
SIG-Sauer P228
A SIG-Sauer P228 is seen in the hands of Fang (Richie Ren) during the opening stakeout scene. He uses it to save Chen when he had trouble trying to deal with several machete wielding triads.
Beretta 92FS
Triad leader Tao (Jack Kao) is armed with a Beretta 92FS during a flashback sequence and later during the shootout in the elevator. Other characters are armed also with the 92FS.
Walther P99
A Walther P99 is carried by Er Ge (Kai Chi Liu) during the elevator scene, later drops it when shot in the arm by Chen. Fang also manages to obtain one during the elevator scene.
Glock 17
A Glock 17 is briefly seen in the hands of Ching (Huang Xiaoming) during the elevator scene.
A M1911-style pistol is carried by several triads.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5
Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns are used by the HKPF Special Duties Unit (SDU) throughout the movie. It is also used by one of the PTU officers guarding a prison convoy and by another officer during a shootout at Ching's apartment.
Steyr TMP
A Steyr TMP, distinguished by its fixed detachable stock, is used by one of the triads who ambushes the prisoner convoy.
Assault Rifles
M16A1
Several M16A1 rifles (with A2 handguards) are used by SDU snipers during training sessions.
M16A2
M16A2 rifles are seen during the sniper training sequences.
M16A4
An SDU sniper shot by Ching is armed with an M16A4.
Remington 870 shotguns are seen in the hands of PTU officers guarding the prison transport when it is ambushed by the triads.
Sniper Rifles
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
The Heckler & Koch PSG-1 sniper rifle is prominently used by Chen throughout much of the film, and by Ching in flashback sequences. The rifle itself is a fake that was created by combining a long barrel with a PSG-1 forearm, buttstock and pistol grip on a HK91/G3 body, similar to the H&K SR9 rifles seen in Hollywood productions.
Tokyo Marui PSG-1 (AEG)
For non-firing scenes, characters use an airsoft PSG-1, made by Tokyo Marui.
Remington 700 AICS
A Remington 700 rifle in an AICS stock is used by Shane (Bowie Lam), one of Fang's fellow SDU snipers.
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
Several members of the SDU sniper team are armed with G3SG/1 rifles. Note that this is just a standard H&K G3 that's made to look like a G3SG/1 rifle. Although it's fitted with an SG/1 stock, it lacks the set trigger that's characteristic of factory SG/1 rifles.
Mk 12 Mod 1 SPR
Suppressed Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifles with Harris bipods no iron sights and 20-round magazines are used by Fang and Chen, notably during a scene where Chen attempts to replicate Ching's shots and during the finale.
Norinco Type 85
Ching (Huang Xiaoming) uses a Chinese copy of the SVD Dragunov, the Norinco Type 85, as his primary sniper rifle throughout the film.
Barrett M82A1
In the finale, Ching uses a Barrett M82 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 G3SG1 to the Barrett M82A1. In the french version, Fang says Ching is using a 50 millimeters and not a .50.
