Poser for you… is this real or artists rendition?

Author friend wants to know if this is an artist interpretation or something real..

Looks like a cross between an SA 80 and maybe a FAMAS?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Could be worse. Belt fed AND drum mag fed? 😂

Who Killed Captain Alex is actually pretty good though. It was made on a REAL budget by a group of friends with the help of their little Ugandan village, was made expressly with comedy in mind and earned a staggering fanbase all over the Internet for their spirit and creativity.

It's just had a magazine photoshopped in to make it visible in the picture.

There are worse examples around. Like this one from the DVD edition of Sniper 3:

The barrel is coming out of the rear of the action in this picture.

I have only watched a few scenes from the original. Billy Zane's hammy acting broke me out of any story they had. And, from what I hear, each sequel became more hammy and silly as time went buy.

Hah, alot you know that rifle is setup so naval officers can do trick shots shooting over their shoulder while looking backwards through the backwards scope with a mirror.

Awful movies, all of them.

The "Accuracy International" in Sniper 3 is a Rem700 VS in .308, stuck in a AI stock with a new AI shaped cocking piece. I have the serial number of it somewhere in my garage from when I used to own it.

There's a scene where Beckett walks behind a line of shooters on a range. You can't really see the rifles because they're out of focus, but one of them is my TBA M40A1. So there was at least one good rifle in it.
