PGW Coyote

Hickey (David Richmond-Peck) uses a suppressed PGW Coyote when engaging some suspected booby traps early in the film. It is standing in for the PGW C14 Timberwolf, the Coyote is only used as a 7.62 NATO training rifle for the .338 Timberwolf and is not actually used in frontline combat. The C14 Timberwolf replaced the C3A1 formerly in use with the Canadian Armed Forces. The weapon used in this movie has a desert camouflage scheme. At 7:41 during the IED scene, Pete (Paul Gross) orders Hickey (David Richmond-Peck) "Hickey get the Coyote..."
