The German Sniper's (Leo Stransky) hero sniper rifle and an additional exploded sight from Steven Spielberg's World War II drama Saving Private Ryan. The sniper killed PFC Caparzo (Vin Diesel) in the town of Neuville and was subsequently taken out by Private Jackson (Barry Pepper) with a shot straight down his scope.

The sniper rifle is a bolt-action Karabiner 98k fitted with a Zeiss ZF42 scope and a five-round clip capacity. The body of the weapon is made of wood, with a metal barrel, scope and buttstock. The trigger and bolt-action both still move. Also included in the lot is an additional sight, created for the effect of the bullet passing through it. There is an exploded hole in the side of the sight and no glass present.

The rifle has been sympathetically deactivated, and comes with a certificate of deactivation, as well as its original plastic armoury tag. The weapon has wear from production use and age, and is stored in a padded carrying case. Dimensions: 111 cm x 9 cm x 25 cm (43¾" x 3½" x 9¾")

Firearm deactivated; see firearm deactivation notice in the Buyer's Guide.
