26 Years (Korean title: 26년, 26 Nyeon) is a 2012 South Korean thriller-drama film based on the 2006 webcomic of the same name by Kang Full. The film is set in 2006, 26 years after the South Korean military violently suppressed the protesting citizens of the city of Gwangju in the Gwangju Uprising. The film follows a group of four people related to those who were killed during the incident as they plan and execute a plot to assassinate the former dictator who ordered the massacre (Jang Gwang, whose character is only known as "The Man" but is heavily implied to be Chun Doo-hwan), who is still alive and heavily guarded by a dedicated security force.

Ma Sang-yeol (Jo Duk-je) aims his 1911 at Jin-bae.

Rifles
Colt M16A1
The South Korean Army is accurately depicted using the Colt M16A1 in the Gwangju Uprising throughout the film's animated prologue.

A soldier holds his M16 after shooting a protestor. A close-up of the rifle's barrel and front sight can be seen.
The soldier searches the halls with his M16 ready.
Colt M16A1 with 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm
A soldier sets his M16 from safe to "KILL" (in case the audience doesn't know what a gun does). A close-up of the rifle's fire selector is seen.
The soldier aims at the protestors.
The soldiers fire at the protestors. Of note is that in this scene, Kwon Jung-hyuk's sister, Su-jin, is shot from behind, which, bizarrely enough, blows her stomach open, causing her intestines to spill out. The M16's 5.56x45mm round is not powerful enough to do this in real life.
Sang-yeol smashes the skull of a dead protestor with the stock of his M16.
The barrel of Sang-yeol's M16 smokes after the rifle is accidentally discharged.
Feinwerkbau P70
Olympic shooter Shim Mi-jin (Han Hye-jin) uses a Feinwerkbau P70 air rifle throughout the first half of the film.

Shim Mi-jin (Han Hye-jin) holds the rifle in the film's opening scene.
Mi-jin aims the rifle at the Man and his convoy.
After her earlier shots fail to kill him, Mi-jin presses the rifle's barrel (which is given a close-up in this shot) to the window of the Man's crashed car so that she can get a powerful enough headshot on him (which still fails to kill him).
Another close-up of the rifle.
M1 Garand
An M1 Garand fitted with a bayonet briefly appears in the film's animated prologue.

A Korean soldier takes out a Garand and its bayonet embedded in his leg.
Mk 12 Mod 1 SPR (mockup)
Shim Mi-jin (Han Hye-jin) is given a sniper rifle based on the Mk 12 Mod 1 SPR (that appears to be built on a Colt M16A1's lower receiver) which she uses throughout the latter half of the film. Of note is that the rifle doesn't sound suppressed, despite its attached suppressor.

"It's supposed to have a range of 800 meters. This is a modified M-16. It must be automatic, then." Kwak Jin-bae assembles the rifle while remarking on its details. His statement of the rifle being a modified M16 is true to an extent, in that the rifle is in fact descended from the M16 line, and that the rifle itself does appear to be built from an M16.
Mi-jin adjusts the rifle's scope in the film's climax.

Mi-jin sets the rifle to full-auto.

Mi-jin falls over as a car runs into the crane holding her and the rifle. The rifle is fully visible in this shot.
