Revision as of 00:01, 7 June 2010
Your lack of effort is duly noted. This article is a candidate for deletion. IMFDB expects certain minimal standards from articles; even if a contributor cannot take their own screenshots, it is still possible to create detailed per-weapon writeups and format an article correctly. Simply dumping a couple of weapon names on a page is essentially demanding we do all the work for you, and this is unacceptable. |

the bolt action sniper rifle is South Africa's Truvelo. Not sure which caliber, looks like a 308 or 300wm. could be 338LM as well. never actually watched the film, only saw a snap shot of the gun scene. someone edit this for me please, new to this stuff.
more info can be found here. looks like these people didn't even bother naming their rifles.
