26 Years (Korean title: 26년, 26 Nyeon) is a 2012 South Korean historical 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 citizens of the city of Gwangju protesting against Chun Doo-hwan's military dictatorship in the Gwangju Uprising. The film follows a group of five people close to those who were killed during the uprising as they plan and execute a plot to kill the still alive and heavily-guarded Chun Doo-hwan (Jang Gwang).

Sang-yeol and the guards' leader (

Gap-se racks a 1911 hidden inside a wooden bust...
...and aims it at Chun Doo-hwan.

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 in the stomach by a soldier, which, bizarrely enough, cuts her stomach open, causing her intestines to spill out. The M16's 5.56x45mm round cannot do this in real life.
Ma 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 fired.
Sniper Rifles
Knight's Armament SR-25
Shim Mi-jin (Han Hye-jin) is given a suppressed Knight's Armament SR-25, which she uses throughout the latter half of the film.

Semi-Automatic Rifles

An M1 Garand fitted with an M7 bayonet briefly appears in the film's animated prologue.

Air rifle
Olympic shooter Shim Mi-jin (Han Hye-jin) uses an 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 Chun Doo-hwan and his convoy.
After her earlier shots fail to kill Doo-hwan, Mi-jin presses the rifle's barrel (which is given a close-up in this shot) to the window of Doo-hwan's crashed car so that she can get a powerful enough headshot on him (which still fails to kill him).
