The Telegraph looks at the rifle used by US Navy Seal Chris Kyle in the hit film American Sniper - the McMillan TAC-338.
Bradley Cooper stars as Navy Seal Chris Kyle in the Oscar-nominated film American Sniper, a biographical drama based on Kyle's experiences as a highly-skilled marksman in Iraq.
According to Department of Defense, Kyle is the deadliest marksman in US military history.
But what is the weapon that brought him such notoriety? Behold the McMillan TAC-338, a heavy-barrel, bolt-action weapon that has been known to hit targets from more than 2,000 yards away.
Kyle used the McMillan TAC-338 in Iraq in 2008 when he killed an insurgent who was about to fire on convoy - at a distance of 1.2 miles.
The deadly weapon, which packs .338 Lapua Magnum bullets, weighs and costs less than a .50 caliber bullet.
It can also be fitted with a bipod which enables the sniper to fire lying down.
