Sniper: Reloaded (2011)

Sniper: Reloaded is a 2011 action thriller that is the fourth installment in the Sniper film series. Billy Zane returns from the first film as Richard Miller, the CIA sniper who was the protege of Master Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger). In this film, Miller travels to the Congo to assist a young Marine (who happens to be the son of Beckett) track down a rebel sniper. The film was produced in South Africa, so many of the weapons seen in the film are of the country's origin.

The following firearms were used in the movie Sniper: Reloaded



Lee-Enfield Rifle (sporterized)

Sgt. Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) uses what appears to be a sporterized version of the SMLE rifle during his mission to take down the rebel sniper.

A US Marine sniper whom Miller trains at Camp Lejeune is seen using what appears to be Truvelo CMS 12.7x99mm rifle. Miller is later seen using the rifle. This particular rifle appears to be missing the plastic panels on the sides of the receiver, exposing the chassis of the rifle.

Vektor R5 (Modified to Resemble AK-47)

Rebel soldiers use what appear to be at first glance AK-47 rifles. However, based on their 5.56 magazines and angled Valmet-style receiver design, these rifles are actually Vektor R5 rifles modified to resemble Kalashnikovs. Similar weapons have appeared in other movies made in South Africa, such as District 9 or Chris Ryan's Strike Back.
