The Way to Dusty Death is a 1995 made for TV thriller movie directed by Geoffrey Reeve and loosely based on the 1962 novel by Alistair MacLean, starring Linda Hamilton and Simon MacCorkindale. Johnny Harlow (MacCorkindale), world champion racing driver, suspects that the death of his friend in a racing crash wasn't an accident but a planned murder. The investigation leads Harlow to the international crime ring that uses the car racing team, owned by the recent widow of the former owner Beth MacAlpine (Hamilton), for the diamond trafficking.
The following weapons were used in the film The Way to Dusty Death:

Heckler & Koch HK91A2
One of the officers of the German police tactical unit is armed with a Heckler & Koch HK91A2 semi auto rifle. It is identified by the lack of the paddle magazine release and the selector without the third position for automatic fire. Strangely, the rear sight is removed from the rifle.
Heckler & Koch HK91A2 with fixed stock - 7.62x51mm NATO
Unidentified sniper rifle
A long gun with sniper scope is briefly seen in hands of an officer of the German police tactical unit. Judging by the general appearance, it may be a scoped Heckler & Koch G3 or variant (hardly a G3SG/1 as the screen gun has definitly a slimline forearm, and hardly a PSG-1 or MSG90 as the barrel isn't long enough).
For comparison: G3A3ZF with Hensoldt 4x24 optical sight - 7.62x51mm NATO
The sniper rifle is seen at the far right, behind Inspector Tom Hagen (
Hidde Maas).
