Revision as of 20:09, 11 July 2008
The following guns were used in the movie Shooter
USMC M40A3 rifle
Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) engages several ground targets with his M40 sniper rifle to open Shooter.
Barrett M82
In the opening scenes of Shooter Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), on mission in Ethiopia, is seen firing both a Barrett M82 and a M40A3 sniper rifle. Even though this rifle is a semi-automatic, in the movie, Swagger racks the charging handle between shots. This is most likely an unfortunate result of using a prop weapon.
(Note: "using a prop weapon" has nothing to do with it. The Barrett M82A1 is a REAL rifle, not a fake one. The rifle was just NOT adapted to fire blanks. In fact, in every movie where they shot the M82A2 (Robocop,Navy SEALS, et. al) you only see ONE shot and then the camera cuts away ... you never see the empty brass kick out because no one will show the .50 cal sniper rifle in rapid fire mode. The director of 'Shooter', Antoine Fuqua (who is no stranger to action flicks) made a WEIRD and conscious choice to film Wahlberg cycling the action by hand and also to highlight it in the editing process. Fuqua obviously doesn't know or care that the M82A2 is a semiautomatic rifle. That's like showing an actor manually charging an M16 after each shot.
Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention
Remington PSS-700
A tactical police heavy barreled version of the Remington Model 700 action, the PSS-700 was purchased by Bob Lee Swagger in the sportings goods store when he is on the run (having Memphis buy the rifle). Next it is used at the river scene were Swagger is training Special Agent Nick Memphis to shoot under pressure. Later it is used by Memphis to provide cover fire to Swagger as they infiltrate the ranch in Tennessee. Finally it is used by Swagger in the mountain scene were he is taken into custody.
Glock 17
Police Officer Stanley Timmons (Alan C. Peterson) wounds Swagger (Wahlberg) with a Glock 17. After being wounded Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) then strips a Glock 17 from young FBI Special Agent Nick Memphis (Michael Peña).
- SPECIAL NOTE*** The FBI DOES NOT ISSUE A GLOCK 17, THEY ISSUE A GLOCK 22 OR A GLOCK 23. IT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING, BUT THE GLOCK 22 and 23 CHAMBERS A .40SW
- Just because it's issued by the FBI in real life doesn't mean the prop weapons used in the movie are the same caliber. 9mm handguns are generally preferred in Hollywood because of the lesser recoil and the fact that from a distance, it is difficult to tell a 9mm pistol apart from its .40-caliber version (i.e. Glock 17 vs. Glock 22, Beretta 92F vs. 96F, etc.).
Colt M1911-A1
Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) ties up loose ends with a M1911A1 at the end of the film.
Heckler and Koch G36K
Caliber 5.56x45mm (.223 Rem) Length (buttstock open / folded) 860 / 615 mm Barrel length 320 mm Weight empty 3.3 kg (3.0 kg G36KE) Magazine capacity 30 rounds standard Rate of fire 750 RPM
