Sniper Rifles

Customized FR F2

The first weapon used by Volker Bretz (Heino Ferch) is a sniper rifle. In the movie it is called an FR F2 in 7.5 mm caliber (which is is incorrect because FR F2 was chambered for 7.62x51 mm while a 7.5x54 mm rifle was MAS FR F1). The rifle looks like a heavily customized FR F2 (or maybe F1).
