 DATE: The sniper rifle used in the church bell tower is a Russian  made Moisin Nagant 91/30 with a 4X power sidemount telescope, which  is correct for the rifle and time period. However, the rifle fires  Russian ammunition, in a caliber unique to the Russian military,  which would not have been available to U.S. soldiers in WWII. The  91/30 sniper rifles were however imported in great quantity after  World War II by many U.S. importers, and would have been readily  available to serve as props in movie making.
