Barrett M82

In the opening scenes of Shooter Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), on mission in Ethiopia, is seen firing both a Barrett M82 and a M40A3 sniper rifle. Even though this rifle is a semi-automatic in real life, in the movie, Swagger racks the charging handle between shots. This is most likely an unfortunate result of using a prop (blank firing replica) weapon instead of the real version of the same rifle, since the rest of the movie is fairly technically sound.

Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention

This hefty rifle fires the extremely ballistically efficient .408 Chey-Tac round. As a result, this rifle, with correctly manufactured ammunition, can be effectively used out to distances of approimately 1.5 miles. The rifle is usually used with a ballistic computer that calculates bullet trajectory based on atmospheric conditions but is shown by itself in the hands of Swagger, firing at a tin can and hitting it at a supposed 1 mile range. While it is possible, one must realize that the average grouping for even the best rifle (the M-200 being high on that list) at this range will be approximately 20 inches at 2000 yards. Keeping that in mind, the scene was obviously used to showcase Swagger's supernatural ability to snipe.

Remington PSS-700

A tactical police heavy barreled version of the Remington Model 700 action, the PSS-700 was purchased by Bob Lee Swagger in the sportings goods store when he is on the run (having Memphis buy the rifle). Next it is used at the river scene were Swagger is training Special Agent Nick Memphis to shoot under pressure. Later it is used by Memphis to provide cover fire to Swagger as they infiltrate the ranch in Tennessee. Finally it is used by Swagger in the mountain scene were he is taken into custody.

Glock 17

Police Officer Stanley Timmons (Alan C. Peterson) wounds Swagger (Wahlberg) with a Glock 17. After being wounded Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) then strips a Glock 17 from young FBI Special Agent Nick Memphis (Michael Peña).

      • SPECIAL NOTE*** The FBI DOES NOT ISSUE A GLOCK 17, THEY ISSUE A GLOCK 22 OR A GLOCK 23. IT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING, BUT THE GLOCK 22 and 23 CHAMBERS A .40SW
Just because it's issued by the FBI in real life doesn't mean the prop weapons used in the movie are the same caliber. 9mm handguns are generally preferred in Hollywood because of the lesser recoil and the fact that from a distance, it is difficult to tell a 9mm pistol apart from its .40-caliber version (i.e. Glock 17 vs. Glock 22, Beretta 92F vs. 96F, etc.).

Colt M1911A1

Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) ties up loose ends with a M1911A1 at the end of the film.

Heckler and Koch G36K

Used by the four guards outside Sandor's hideout.
