The last one looks similar to the one used in [[The Bourne Supremacy]], which is provisionally being said to be a Keppeler & Fritz KS II Precision, but no one seems quite certain that that really is what it is. Can't say I'd ever heard of it until I read that page.

Revision as of 00:15, 22 January 2011

Help please
In the episode "Payback" (Series 1, Episode 6) there is a bank robbery which gets a german police response, and I am having difficulties with a couple of the sniper rifles used.
The first one is seen twice, once with a red dot sight and again with a telescopic sight. The quality of my caps is not great as they come from a TVRIP as there is no DVD available, but from the straight layout looks like it is a bullpup of some sort. It might just be a regular rifle in a bullpup stock, but not sure.
Second one is more of a mystery. At first I thought it was a sniper rifles dressed up to look like a WA2000, but then when I watched it again for capping, realised it looked nothing like a WA2000, and looks like it is actually a production rifle in itself. It appears to have some sort of tube above the barrel which I'm guessing is a recoil buffer of some sort as it is bolt action, and this looks like it continues all the way back to the butt, which is also pretty odd looking. To add to the wierdness, the scope is mounted on some kind of bracket, that offsets it to the left side of the rifle, which is needed due to the odd tube abover the barrel.
I found it odd that there was these 2 such esoteric weapons in the same show, when for the most part they are quite conservative and true to life with the weapons that are used. Any help ID'ing these would be greatly appreciated. --commando552 12:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
