American Sniper is a 2014 biographical war film directed by Clint Eastwood with a screenplay by Jason Hall. Based on Chris Kyle's autobiography American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, the film stars Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle and Sienna Miller as his wife Taya Ranae Kyle.


The following weapons were used in the film American Sniper:


Sniper Rifles

McMillan TAC-338A

Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) uses a McMillan TAC-338A rifle as one of his main weapons. The weapon is fitted with a Leupold Mark 4. The rifle is also similar in appearance to the TAC-338 rifle that Kyle used in real life.

Here we get a good look of the engraved marks on the rifle.

Remington Mk 13 Mod 0

During his first tour in Iraq, Kyle uses a Remington Mk 13 Mod 0, based off the Remington Model 700, chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. The weapon is fitted with a McMillan A2 stock, Nightforce NXS scope, harris bipod, MIRS night vision rail, and Knight's Armament M110 suppressor.

Remington Mk 13 Mod 5 with bolt open, Harris bipod and KAC M110 suppressor - .300 Winchester Magnum. The Mod 0 differed in that it was built in a McMillan A2 stock as shown in the film.

Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle

Kyle uses a Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle with a tan paint scheme, Harris bipod, Crane stock, Leupold Mark 4 scope, and suppressor while training to be a sniper. Other SEALs are also seen using the rifles in Iraq.

TRIVIA: Chris Kyle, in a piece for Soldier of Fortune wrote that he "took the lower receiver off [his] (sic) M-4 and put it on the upper receiver of [his] Mk-12. That gave [him] a collapsible stock and allowed [him] to go full-auto." By stating that he could "go full-auto", he very clearly meant an M4A1 Carbine, not the burst fire only M4 Carbine, but some use "M4" as an umbrella term to refer to both. Additionally, he could have simply put a collapsible stock and full auto trigger pack on his Mk-12, he didn't need to change the lower for that, it was likely just done as it'd be easier than cannibalizing parts off of an M4A1.

During Kyle's fourth tour, a Recon Marine (Brett Edwards) that accompanies him on a mission is also armed with an M16A4, but with an ACOG sight, AN/PEQ-15 IR designator, and an M203 grenade launcher.

Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB

Kyle and many of the SEALs use tan-painted Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB carbines with various accessories ranging from suppressors, AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PEQ-15 IR designators, Crane stocks, LMT rear sights, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sights, and EOTech holographic sights. According to Independent Studio Services, the prophouse which supplied the weapons used in the film, Kyle's Mk 18 is built on an XM16E1 lower receiver and the same rifle was used with different accessories to represent different points in Kyle's career.

Pistols

Springfield TRP Operator

Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) briefly carries a Springfield TRP during his first tour, visible in a thigh rig holster and/or a leather belt holster. He later switches to a SIG pistol (from his second tour on), which should be a .45 ACP SIG-Sauer P220 (according to Kyle's autobiography and Independent Studio Services, which provided the arsenal for the movie –Recoil Magazine Issue 18, USA), but might be a P226 on some shots. In real life, Kyle's Springfield TRP Operator was a personal sidearm of choice during his first tour before it was damaged by shrapnel, prompting him to switch to a modern design sidearm onward on his later tours.

Kyle's Springfield TRP Operator is now seen in his brown leather hip holster. Note the stainless bull barrel, which Marc's (Luke Grimes) 1911 lacks.

SIG-Sauer P220

Starting from his second tour to the rest of the movie, Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) carries a SIG-Sauer P220 as his sidearm in a brown leather hip holster. According to ISS, Kyle's SIG is an original West German model. Like the Springfield TRP Operator, the SIG-Sauer P220 was a personal sidearm of choice of Kyle's when he made the switch later in his military service.

Kyle's P220 is seen holstered during his team mission briefing. Note the angled grip and sharper grip backstrap. It should be noted Kyle is carrying his P220 in a P226 holster, however the pistol grips design confirms it is not a P226.

SIG-Sauer P226

Most of the U.S. Navy SEALs in the film carry the SIG-Sauer P226 as their sidearm. Both Navy SEAL Lt. Martens (Sam Jaeger) and Dauber (Kevin Lacz) are seen carrying their P226 pistols tucked into their plate carriers.

SIG-Sauer P226 - 9x19mm Parabellum
Dauber (Kevin Lacz) with the P226 tucked in his plate carrier. Note the straighter grip and smoother backstrap design. Kevin Lacz was a SEAL who was a close friend of the real Chris Kyle and served with him in Iraq. In fact, "Dauber" is the nickname Kyle gave him.

A SIG-Sauer P226 pistol is seen in the vest of Navy SEAL Lt. Martens (Sam Jaeger) as he stands next to Colonel Jones (Chance Kelly). A good clear shot of the P226's straighter grip and smoother backstrap design but also clearly visible are double-stack bulges which are consistent with a P226.

Beretta 92FS

Ranger One (Owain Yeoman) and a Delta sniper in Kyle's fourth tour both have a Beretta 92FS in their leg platform rig holsters. The Beretta 92FS is likely standing in as the Beretta M9.

Unknown Custom 1911

Marc Lee (Luke Grimes) and some DIA contractors including Agent Snead (Eric Close) carry custom unknown modern 1911 pistols similar to the Kimber Custom TLE II as their sidearms in their hip holsters.

Kimber Custom TLE II - .45 ACP
Marc (Luke Grimes) appears to have a custom Kimber style pistol with black grips in his hip holster. Note Marc's pistol is very different from Kyle's (Bradley Cooper) Springfield TRP Operator due to different frame designs.
DIA Agent Snead (Eric Close) has a 1911 style pistol with wood grips and pistol magazines on his belt which seems to be for M1911 style handguns, albeit similar to Wilson Combat 8 round magazines.

Shotguns

Benelli M1 Super 90 (Short Barrel)

During the film's opening, a Marine on patrol appears to be armed with the short barrel variant of the Benelli M1 Super 90 with a pistol grip, short barrel and Surefire forend. The shotgun was likely standing in for the Mossberg 590A1 shotguns actually used by the U.S. Marines.
