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)
I think this may be a 1911 rather than a Tokarev, but I'm not 100%. Any thoughts? Jimmoy 10:20, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
It is a Tokarev. In that picture, the fairly tall rearsight is very Tokarev-like; also the rounded rear end of the slide, and absence of the spring plunger tube (above the left grip, pressing on the safety and slide stop) can be seen. It's worth noting that the sound of the gun firing isn't particularly silenced. IKD
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? (The murders are seen, in flashback, later in the film but the gun isn't shown.) IKD
- In the Soviet Union (and in present-day Russia as well) cartridge 7.65 mm Auto is a very rare thing. KGB had a fairly standard weapons, and would be unlikely to use 7.65... Slow Rider 08:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
