American Soldier advises an Ethiopian training with a FPK/PSL sniper rifle in East Africa
The Romanian FPK or PSL (Puşcă Semiautomată cu Lunetă) sniper rifle (stamped FPK on the receiver, but called both PSL and FPK by the Romanians) was developed in the 1970s as their version of a designated marksman rifle, much like the M21 system used by the U.S.A. The Romanians never really used the PSL/FPK as a sniper in their armed forces, instead choosing other long range weapons (such as commercial bolt action rifles) for that task.
The Romanian FPK / PSL rifle has been used by the following actors in the following:
Film
- One of Hatcher's marksmen is using a FPK/PSL in The Rundown
- One of the terrorists in The Marksman
- An insurgent sniper in The Hurt Locker
Video Games
- Mona Sax in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
