pic request - weapon used in movie "sniper2"

[apm]

hey fellas,

i just saw the movie "sniper2" with tom berenger. not as good as the first one but still nice action for occasionally entertainment. but i wonder which rifle is used by the balkanese (?) sniper who fights the duel with beckett at the end..? never seen a rifle like this before, does someone have informations and pictures regarding to that weapon? would be quite cool!

cheers,

apm

Ah, yes, the Balkanese. Dangerous chaps, those.

I can't say I've seen the movie, since the first one was bad enough. Try going to www.world.guns.ru and browse around to see if you can find it--that's a decent online reference site.

yep tried this but at least in my point of view i didnt find anything similar...maybe it´s a fictional weapon, but if not i´d really like to now which one. it looks like a oversized tavor but it is a bolt action rifle...

If you can you should make a screenshot and post it here. It'll be easier to help you.

sorry, i dont know which prog to use (it´s a dvd). everytime if i try to cap a screen, it is not fixed and hides behind the selection...:oops:

Did it look Eastern or Western?

I KINDA THOUGHT THE 1ST SNIPER MOVIE WAS OK BUT SNIPER 2 WAS A A LETHAL WEAPON ITSELF, IT ALMOST KILLED ME TO SIT THROUGH IT!!:fork:

Are you talking about the surplus one he found with the scope?

On another note, that movie sucked compared to the first

Goofs: Factual errors: The rifle shown to Berenger in the cache of "antiques" and called a "Mauser seven-nine-two" was most certainly not a Mauser. By the looks of it and the cartridge compartment in front of the trigger guard, it appears to be a Moisin-Nagant seven-six-two. Though also of WW II origin, there is a vast difference as one was used by German snipers and the other was used by Russians. I notice later in the film, he is even using a "sporterized version" which has the lowered bolt lever rather than the straight stock version.

yeah but i was asking for the weapon the enemy sniper used and i didnt want to argue about the movie...
indeed it look eastern to me, unfortunately there arent many scenes where you have at least a partial view on the weapon. it looks as i said very similar to a tavor and it seems also to be set up in bullpup design, but it is a bolt action rifle.

but i need a programme to take a screen, either a screenshot capturer or a dvd player with this possibility, because somehow i cant take screenshots from power dvd. only black screen in the players window.

i know this is a silly solution, but at least something until i found a screen cap programme (hypersnap, screen capturer and vlc player also failed to take the screenshot)...
the weapon looked like this (paint 111!!!STRONG roflwoot)

My bad, misunderstood. Not sure on the other weapon

It might just be a Hollywood fantasi gun? Or check here www.hkpro.com (http://www.hkpro.com)

ok ^^ maybe it is, but i doubt that i´ll find it on a hk' dedicated site...
i know it would be better if i had screens for you - but does someone know a possibility to take a screenshot from a dvd player programme like powerdvd?

Was it .50 cal by any chance? Looks kinda like a Barrett M90/M95.

[Selekcja]

I think it was M93 Crna Strela.

I think it was M93 Crna Strela.

Never seen the film, so I've no idea, but this is the M93 black arrow (12.7 mm and a nice rifle, if a bit heavy ;) BTW)

You tried the Print Screen key on your keyboard, didn't you? That won't work, it'll just give you a blank screen. Use PowerDVD's screenshot button.

(From the "Animated gif" thread)

Looks fake to me.

:hug: finally, thanks! and also a big thanks for the hint :oops:

yeah this was the weapon i was talking about! but if it is a fake...well then nevermind^^ as quoted often the only reason why i asked was that i´ve never seen a weapon like this before.
