American Sniper is a 2014 biographical war film directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on Chris Kyle's autobiography American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, the film stars Bradley Cooper as Kyle and Sienna Miller as his wife Taya Ranae Kyle.
The following weapons were used in the film American Sniper:
Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) uses a McMillan TAC-338A rifle as one of his main weapons. The weapon is fitted with a Leupold Mark 4. The rifle is also similar in appearance to the TAC-338 rifle that Kyle used in real life.
Kyle uses a Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle with a tan paint scheme, Harris bipod, Crane stock, Leupold Mark 4 scope, and suppressor while training to be a sniper. Other SEALs are also seen using the rifles in Iraq.
An Iraqi Tabuk Sniper Rifle is seen in a cache of weapons. The Tabuk rifles seen in the film are American-made copies built by the Two Rivers Arms Company for Independent Studio Services, the film's armorer.
U.S. Marines in Iraq can been seen using M16A4 rifles as their standard weapons. Another Marine carries an M16A4 fitted with an EOTech sight, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, stock-mounted magazine pouch, and an M203 grenade launcher. On Kyle's final mission a Marine Scout Sniper that accompanies him is also armed with an M16A4 but with an ACOG sight, AN/PEQ-15 IR designator, and an M203 grenade launcher.
Kyle and many of the SEALs use tan-painted Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB carbines with various accessories ranging from suppressors, AN/PEQ-2 & AN/PEQ-15 IR designators, Crane stocks, LMT rear sights, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sights, and EOTech holographic sights.
U.S. Army soldiers, private military contractors and some of the SEALs use M4A1 carbines with various attachments, including the M203 grenade launcher.
Captain Martens (Sam Jaeger) is seen with a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol tucked into his plate carrier. Chris Kyle himself is also seen carrying the P226 throughout the movie, which is an inaccuracy (in real life, Kyle used a Springfield TRP and later switched to the .45 ACP SIG-Sauer P220).
A cache of weapons including rifles and grenades are found hidden in a floor. The weapons include several AKMS rifles, at least one Tabuk sniper rifle, several F-1 hand grenades, an RGD-5 hand grenade, a PROM-1 anti-personnel mine, two RPG-7 launchers, and several RKG-3 anti-tank grenades.
