Proteus is a 1995 sci-fi horror film directed by Bob Keen (To Catch a Yeti ) and starring Craig Fairbrass . Although given a theatrical release in the UK, it went direct-to-video in the US.
The following weapons were used in the film Proteus :
AKS-47
Alex (Craig Fairbrass ) uses an modified AKS-47 for much of the film. His AKS-47 appears to be a hybrid between an AKS-47 and an L85 rifle, with an L85 forend and SUSAT sight. One of the Brinkstone guards is also armed with the same rifle, which Alex later takes away from him.

Despite this, Alex never thinks to just extend the stock and fire the rifle from his shoulder. Note the SUSAT sight, which appears to be mounted on top of the receiver, rather than off to the side.
