This hefty rifle fires the extremely ballistically efficient .408 Chey-Tac round. As a result, this rifle, with correctly manufactured ammunition, can be effectively used out to distances of approimately 1.5 miles. The rifle is usually used with a ballistic computer that calculates bullet trajectory based on atmospheric conditions but is shown by itself in the hands of Swagger, firing at a tin can and hitting it at a supposed 1 mile range. While it is possible, one must realize that the average grouping for even the best rifle (the M-200 being high on that list) at this range will be approximately 20 inches at 2000 yards. Keeping that in mind, the scene was obviously used to showcase Swagger's supernatural ability to snipe. | |||

Revision as of 17:27, 10 August 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 real life, in the movie, Swagger racks the charging handle between shots. This is most likely an unfortunate result of using a prop (blank firing replica) weapon instead of the real version of the same rifle, since the rest of the movie is fairly technically sound.
DShK
One of the targets Swagger snipes in the beginning of the film is seen on a DShK heavy machine gun munted on the back of a truck.
Browning M2
In the Ethiopia sequence at the beginning of the film, several Browning M2s can be seen mounted on Humvees and enemy vehicles.
M29 81mm Mortar
Several M29 81mm Mortars can be seen being used to fire on Swagger's and Fenn's position in the beginning of the film.
AK Varient
Many of the enemy forces in the beginning of the film can be seen with some kind of AK-Varient.
M4 Carbine
There are several appearences of M4 Carbines in the film, one with an optic scope and M203 grenade launcher is seen being used by Donnie Fenn (Lane Garrison) to fire at a helicopter. They are also used by the merceneries during the firefight on the ranch, one which is commandereed by Swagger, and one with a silencer and a EOTech Holographic Weapon Sight is used by Swagger at the end of the film to tie up loose ends in Senator Charles F. Meachum's (Ned Beatty) vacation house seen when he knocks the gas valve off the stove.
M203 Grenade Launcher
Donnie Fenn (Lane Garrison) has an M203 grenade launcher on his M4 Carbine in the beginning of the film which he uses to destroy an enemy vehicle while trying to fight off the helicopter.
Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention
This hefty rifle fires the extremely ballistically efficient .408 Chey-Tac round. As a result, this rifle, with correctly manufactured ammunition, can be effectively used out to distances of approimately 1.5 miles. The rifle is usually used with a ballistic computer that calculates bullet trajectory based on atmospheric conditions but is shown by itself in the hands of Swagger, firing at a tin can and hitting it at a supposed 1 mile range. While it is possible, one must realize that the average grouping for even the best rifle (the M-200 being high on that list) at this range will be approximately 20 inches at 2000 yards. Keeping that in mind, the scene was obviously used to showcase Swagger's supernatural ability to snipe. This is also the rifle used to frame Swagger, at the meeting with the Attorney General at the end of the film, Swagger proves his innocence by loaded a round in the weapon (provided by Memphis) and attempts to fire, but the weapon only produces a harmless click. Swagger then explains he everytime he leaves his house he swaps the firing pins in his rifles with shorter ones, rendering the weapons unable to fire, thus proving that he didn't murder the Arch Bishop.
