The film was originally set to be released in May 2008, but was delayed due to the Edison Chen photo scandal.  ''The following images are from the commercially available Hong Kong Released DVD.''

Sniper Rifles

Heckler & Koch PSG1

The Heckler & Koch PSG-1 sniper rifle is prominently used by OJ throughout much of the film, and by Ching in flashback sequences. The rifle itself is a fake that was created by combining a long barrel with a PSG-1 forearm, buttstock and pistol grip on a HK91/G3 body, similar to the H&K SR9 rifles seen in Hollywood productions.

photo from PROPS COMPANY LIMITED Website - The Sniper 'build up' PSG1 - 7.62 NATO It is a fake 'build up' PSG1 (much like the SR9TC rifles in Hollywood), created by putting long barrel (note that it is slimmer than a real PSG heavy barrel), or a barrel sleeve extender, along with the recognizable forearm, buttstock and pistol grip on a standard HK91/G3 body. A build up like this would cost under $1000, whereas a real German PSG-1 sells for $10,000 - $35,000.

Remington 700 (AICS)

A Remington 700 rifle is used by Shane (Bowie Lam), one of Fang's fellow SDU snipers. The rifle uses an AICS stock, giving it the appearance of an Accuracy International rifle such as the AWP.

Heckler & Koch G3SG/1

Several members of the SDU sniper team are armed with G3SG/1 rifles. Note that this is just a standard H&K G3 that's made to look like a G3SG/1 rifle. Although it's fitted with an SG/1 stock, it lacks the set trigger that's characteristic of factory SG/1 rifles.
