What is this bolt action rifle? --Ben41 09:51, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Jack Osborne (Lee Marvin) is seen using a bolt action rifle with scope at the end of the film.
- Finnish SAKO 75 Hunter, probably chambered in a common caliber like .308 but that's a pure guess since we can't see the other side where the length of the bolt can be seen. MoviePropMaster2008 16:41, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

7.65mm Pistol
POSSIBLE SPOILER The three bodies found early on in the film are described by the pathologist as having been shot with a 7.65mm pistol, at which Renko declares "and that's a KGB gun". Eh? I assume this is to distinguish between 7.62 Tokarev and 7.65 Auto, which might be possible by bullet weight of standard FMJ loading, but what gun is meant to be unique to KGB use?
