Sniper Rifle

Unknown Sniper Rifle

This is the main weapon used by the antagonists. Off-screen, many shots are fired at a semi-automatic rhythm, but the rifle is a bolt-action system. The caliber itself seems powerful enough to penetrate the engine block of a car and to be fired from several hundreds yards. However the scope seems to be a NORCONIA Germany, which is actually a Chinese brand affiliated to NORINCO. Even though they sell hunting and sporting scopes, they are mostly known for their Airsoft optics.

Shotgun

Double-barrel Shotgun

An other attacker is armed with a double-barrel shotgun with exposed hammers. Also, a lot of smoke is emitted after each shot, which may indicate that this is a black-powder weapon.
