Sniper Rifles

Bretz' sniper rifle

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). Unlike bolt-action FR F2 rifle, Bretz' rifle lacks a bolt handle and is supposed to be a semi-automatic weapon.

A pistol grip, a part of receiver and a sniper scope can be seen.
