Other Weapons

"Spy Rifle"

The weapon, used by a killer (E06), is a non-firing movie prop that was specially made for the 1986 film Interception (Perekhvat). It uses parts of various real guns (some of which were taken from a Heckler & Koch G3). Later this movie prop was used in several other Soviet/Russian movies.
