The following weapons were used in the film Silent Trigger:

Barrett M82

Another sniper is seen with an original Barrett M82 with a significantly shortened barrel (possibly a custom job) at the film's climax. This is an original/early Barrett M82 because of the early muzzle-brake, the lack of vent-slots in the fore-grip, the square trigger guard, and the simpler stock. A similar rifle had previously been used in the film The Taking of Beverly Hills.
