Sniper is a 1993 action thriller starring Tom Berenger as Master Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett, a USMC sniper who is paired with a rookie CIA sniper when assigned a mission to Colombia to eliminate a drug cartel leader. Berenger would return as Beckett in Sniper 2 and Sniper 3.
The following guns were used in the movie Sniper
M40A1
Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger), USMC Sniper, uses an M40A1 Sniper Rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO which is based on the Remington Model 700 Bolt Action Rifle.
The M40A1 rifles used in the film were Remington 700 rifles, supplied for the filming by 'Weapons and Effects' of San Rafael, CA. The rifles were fully prepared as though they would see real use, with aftermarket bedding, trigger jobs, McMillan stocks and parkerization done by Scott, McDougall & Associates of Santa Rosa, CA.
Heckler & Koch SR9TC
SWAT sniper Richard Miller (Billy Zane) uses a H&K SR9TC rifle.
SVD Dragunov
The guerrilla sniper DeSilva, who was trained by Beckett (Tom Berenger), uses an SVD Dragunov as his sniper rifle. Another guerrilla sniper at Ochoa's Compound also uses a Dragunov.
Browning M2
"El Cirujano" (Ken Radley) fires a tripod mounted Browning M2 12.7x99mm (.50BMG) NATO at the lookout tower where Beckett was.
Heckler & Koch MP5
The Heckler & Koch MP5 is seen carried by several Ochoa guards. One guard carries his MP5 9x19mm fitted with a night vision scope.

AKM

Marine doorgunners fire M60D machine guns from their Marine UH-1 helicopters.
