During one of the scenes where Vasily is aiming at a German soldier, the bolt is not completely in battery, i.e. it would not fire if the bolt wasn't completely closed/locked..

Even though guns are obviously not loaded in films, sometimes they are tampered with to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that nothing can happen to any of the cast or crew. People have died on sets because of weapons mix ups in the prop weaponry department. Most recently with Alec Baldwin’s movie Rust when a crew member, Halyna Hutchins, was killed. Brandon Lee was killed on the set of the Crow due to a mistake with the prop gun being loaded with live bullets. So some films file down the firing pin, some remove the clip completely and replace it with a chunk of plastic on the bottom so it can’t carry bullets at all, some jam the hammer badly, some even weld the barrel shut. It wouldn’t surprise me if not completely attaching the bolt was done intentionally for safety. Of course it could very well be a movie mistake on behalf. They do happen pretty often.

One of the best sniper movies in my opinion. Classic

Best scene of the movie.

Read some history books that the so called "sniper" school of the Soviet Red Army was only 3 days. Longer at first. The KIA rate was so bad for the Soviet forces training was an absolute minimum. Very likely in that the PU scope used on those modified Mosin-Nagant rifles was what is called a "German Post" one reticle with 3 lines in the reticle. One originating from the 6 o'clock, and, two short reticles from the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. The two reticals from the left and right sides did not touch the retical from the bottom. A very simple scope design that limits all shots to less than 250 meters. Most shots were probably around 100 meters. There were no scopes like scopes available today. There was nothing like MOA or M-rads adjustments. Nothing to allow measured adjustment of wind. Coriolis Effect was an unknown concept during the WW-2 era and prior years. Very simple technology.

"Italian scientist Giovanni Battista Riccioli and his assistant Francesco Maria Grimaldi described the effect in connection with artillery in the 1651 Almagestum Novum, writing that rotation of the Earth should cause a cannonball fired to the north to deflect to the east." If not the snipers, then the artillerymen would know, though.

I love how this movie walks the tightrope of 1) Not letting the nazis of the hook even as portraying the soviets as absolutely insane 2) Giving our heroes some humanity even as they fight for another fucked up government. 3) Making the story honest and depressing but still exciting enough to keep us staying for the spectacle and wanting to see if our protagonist makes it through.

Usually from a distance but the emphasis is on concealed. range is not what makes them snipers but of course its a plus

I can't imagine that gun is firing a subsonic round, the dude getting shot in the head right next to another guy and no body hearing it just immediately shattered my suspension of disbelief.

I mean, they're at a warzone, gunfire is everywhere all the time. Paying attention to where every gunshot is from is too much. It's also morning and there is a lot of rustling about as people get ready, a loud thud as a body hits the floor next to you mught be misunderstood as just someome opening a box aggressively.

​ @robe asd Right but the crack of a sonic boom isn't something you're going to be used to hearing and you absolutely wouldn't be tuning it out. Both shots are pretty damn close. The guy holding the hat next to the first fatality absolutely would have shit himself the moment he heard it and everyone would be alerted. For the second pair of soldiers, they were so close that unless the smoker was deaf, his reaction would have been immediate and he definitely would have had a decent idea where the shot had just came from because y'know, dead friend + sonic boom + very close gunshot all happening at the same time probably indicates some causation between them. It's clear that whoever put this scene together simply was either not aware that 7.62 (and just about any rifle round) breaks the sound barrier. It's Hollywood shlock and that's fine as long as no one is taking it seriously.

@@Animal.CUT... From what I understand if Russia had a subsonic round that could possibly be chambered in place of a 7.62 they didn't have one until 1941, about a year before Stalingrad which I assume the movie takes place in. If that's the case I'm not finding any evidence that it was used during the battle and obviously even less so that it was being utilized in unsuppressed rifles. Needless to say, I don't think that's something being taken into account in this scene. Open to being wrong but so far I'm totally unconvinced.

It’s kinda funny/odd how influential this movie has been despite not being a particularly popular movie at the time. Even in retrospect, it might have a particular “charm” of movies from the late 90s-early 20s, but it’s not like it’s a hidden masterpiece. It’s not a super artistic or niche film that was telling a compelling story that was “ahead of its time”. Say for example a movie like Equilibrium or even Demolition Man (which was well liked, but the story/setting resonates more now).
