Shooter is the 2016 USA Network television adaptation of the Bob Lee Swagger series of books written by Stephen Hunter, with the initial season primarily based on the best-selling novel "Point of Impact". The series stars Ryan Phillippe as Bob Lee Swagger, a former US Marine sniper who finds himself framed for an assassination that he believed he was trying to prevent. The character had previously been adapted in a 2007 feature film that was directed by Antoine Fuqua and starred Mark Wahlberg as Swagger. Both Fuqua and Wahlberg return to executive produce this series, which premiered in the US on the USA Network in November of 2016 (following several delays due to the tragic real-life sniper incidents that occurred in Dallas over the summer of 2016).
The following weapons were used in the television series Shooter (TV Series):
In the series premiere "Point of Impact" (S1E01), a camo-painted Remington 700 is carried by one of the hunters that Swagger confronts. Swagger refers to the rifle as being chambered in .223 Remington. Swagger himself uses it in "Musa Qala" (S1E03).
Swagger is seen using a Savage 110 action that is housed in a Saber-Forstt SVL-A2 MOD-1 Modular Rifle Chassis by Ashbury Precision Ordnance. The rifle is fitted with a suppressor and Schmidt & Bender PM II 5-25x56 scope on a 30 MOA rail.
Some law enforcement officers are armed with the Glock 17, including FBI Special Agent Nadine Memphis (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). Swagger briefly takes it from Memphis when he goes to her residence with one rigged up in a trap in "Musa Qala" (S1E03).
An older SIG-Sauer P226 appears to be Jack's sidearm while with the FBI. Secret Service agent and ex-MARSOC officer Isaac Johnson (Omar Epps) tests the pistol in "Exfil" (S1E02).
A Mossberg 500 Cruiser with a heatshield is seen in the hands of Leo, a convenience store operator, before Swagger disarms him of the shotgun in "Musa Qala" (S1E03). Swagger correctly identifies the shotgun as a "Mossberg 12 gauge" and mentions that the pistol grip sacrifices control and that it would likely kill both him and his hostage.
An M203 grenade launcher is used by Donny and Isaac, attached on their M4A1s, in a photo during their time in Afghanistan near the end of "Exfil" (S1E02).
