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 [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K SR9 series of Sniper Rifles|H&K SR9 rifles]] seen in Hollywood productions.

The following weapons were used in the film The Sniper:
Chen Xinwei (Edison Chen) and his inexperienced rookie partner both use Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers in the introduction. Fang Keming (Richie Ren) and officers of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) also use Model 10s during a scene where triad members attack a prisoner convoy.
A SIG-Sauer P228 is seen in the hands of Fang (Richie Ren) during the opening stakeout scene. He uses it to save Chen when he had trouble trying to deal with several machete wielding triads.
Triad leader Tao (Jack Kao) is armed with a Beretta 92FS during a flashback sequence and later during the shootout in the elevator. Other characters are armed also with the 92FS.
A Walther P99 is carried by Er Ge (Kai Chi Liu) during the elevator scene, later drops it when shot in the arm by Chen. Fang also manages to obtain one during the elevator scene.
Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns are used by the HKPD Special Duties Unit (SDU) throughout the movie. It is also used by one of the PTU officers guarding a prison convoy and by another officer during a shootout at Ching's apartment.
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.
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.
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.
AR15 rifles were customized to resemble the SR-25 but distinguished by their 5.56 magazines and forward assists, are used by Fang and Chen, notably during a scene where Chen attempts to replicate Ching's shots and during the finale.
