Shooter (2007)
All this left hand/right hand stuff is stupid, he has to shoot right handed guns right handed so he can cycle them. Not to mention most actors cannot be accurately depicted as left or right handed since they don't usually know how to use guns right anyway. Since Wahlberg was trained by a sniper school division for the USMC, he might have been trained to shoot right handed for simplicity of the instructor (and ease in using the right handed weapons) but Wahlberg is definately left handed, watch any other movie where he uses guns ( For example Max Payne and Four Brothers). Hopefully the weapons coordinator will return and possibley explain the constant left to right shooting. - Gunmaster45

Swagger is wounded in the shoulder by officer Timmons, it makes sense he would use the other shoulder when possible.

USMC M40A3 rifle

Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) engages several ground targets with his M40 sniper rifle to open Shooter. At least one of the enemy snipers in the mountain appears to have a M40A3 sniper rifle with an artic paint job.

~Swagger switches shooting shoulders because of the bullet wound to his right shoulder. The recoil would put a searing pain if fired right-handed...It's obvious this movie is suppose to span several weeks so by the end of the movie, his shoulder should be healthy enough to fire again...

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. It is also used by Sanders to assassinate the Archbishop of Ethiopia. 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.(Ryan S. here. I was the weapons co-ordinator on this film. The Barrett used was a real one firing blanks.After multiple straffing runs by the helicopter and the amount of dust and crap floating in the air from all the explosions,the gun did malfunction a few times on multiple takes. Unfortuantely the way it was edited together made it seem like he was cocking it after every shot.)

Ryan S? That's really you?

Yep its really me. :)

M4A1

There are several appearences of M4A1s in the film, one with an M68 Close Combat Optic and M203 grenade launcher is seen being used by Donnie Fenn (Lane Garrison) to fire at a helicopter. They are also used by the mercenaries during the firefight on the ranch, one which is commandereed by Swagger, and one, possibly the same one taken from the ranch shootout, with a red dot optic and suppressor is used by Swagger at the end of the film to tie up loose ends in Senator Charles F. Meachum's (Ned Beatty) vacation house seen when he knocks the gas valve off the stove.

Why the hell does it keep saying "left-hand shooting"? It isn't a technique or anything, Wahlberg is just left handed.

~Possibly switching because of the bullet wound he took to his shoulder. Try firing anything bigger than an airsoft gun and the recoil is going to hurt that wound.

M203 Grenade Launcher

Donnie Fenn (Lane Garrison) has an M203 grenade launcher on his M4A1 in the beginning of the film which he uses to destroy an enemy vehicle while trying to fight off the helicopter.

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 (edit: although not visible in the still frames provided, during the movie scene a ballistic computer can be seen immediately to the actor's right of the weapon in the close shot of the trigger pull). 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. This is also the rifle used to frame Swagger, at the meeting with the Attorney General at the end of the film, Swagger proves his innocence by loading a round in the weapon (provided by Memphis) and attempts to fire, but the weapon only produces a harmless click. Swagger then explains that everytime he leaves his house he swaps the firing pins in his rifles with shorter ones, rendering the weapons unable to fire, thus proving that he didn't murder the Archbishop.

Remington Model 700PSS

A tactical police heavy barreled version of the Remington Model 700, the Model 700PSS 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 Virginia. Finally it is used by Swagger in the mountain scene were he is taken into custody. The secret service snipers at the president's speech use these rifles as well.

They are G36KEs (or G36KV) as identifiable by the Single-sight Carrying Handle.

The G36KE is the exported version of the G36K [The V is the new term], The standard G36K is only used in Germany, by the Bundeswehr and the Heer [National Guard and Army].

Actually, the whole "K"/"KE" thing is kind of a moot point because the double-sighted carry handle is widely sold, so any G36 can be fitted with it. The only difference is that the Bundeswehr gets it for free, whereas other customers have to pay extra for it. -MT2008

Beretta 92FS

While Bobby Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is on the run, a police officer in the film pulls a Beretta 92FS on him when trying to arrest him, but Swagger disarms and knocks out the officer before he can. Swagger later confronts ex-sniper Michael Sandor (Rade Šerbedžija) with a Beretta 92FS.

Remington 870 Express

When Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) goes to Donnie's wife Sara Fenn (Kate Mara) for help, she can be seen with Remington 870 Express in the doorway to which Swagger mentions that it's too long to draw quickly before she lets him into the house. A sawed off Remington 870 Express is seen when Sarah shoots a intruder in her home before being captured by Jack Payne (Elias Koteas), it is unknown if this is a second shotgun or if Sarah cut the stock and barrel off the one from earlier (most likely the latter). It is last seen during the mountain scene when Payne has it taped to his hand and is using to hold Sarah hostage when he taunts Swagger by telling him he has no shot until Swagger fires a shot at Payne's hand, destroying the weapon and knicking a finger or two, Swagger then fires a second shot blowing Payne's arm off at the elbow.

Taurus PT92

After Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) and Memphis (Michael Pena) rescue Sarah (Kate Mara), they make Senator Meachum (Ned Beatty) and the others at the exchange surrender and drop their weapons, they take a stainless steel Taurus PT92 with pearl grips off Senator Meachum and throw it on the ground near Sarah. Sarah then picks up the handgun and uses it to finish off a wounded Payne (Elias Koteas) before being relieved of it by Swagger. There is also a few goofs with this weapon such as slide locking back after only four shots when Sarah finishes off Payne despite the gun holding 15 rounds. And also, in the next shot after this, the slide isn't locked back.
