The long range rifle used by Charlize Theron is a Chinese Type 56 carbine (which is a Chinese manufactured variant of the Russian SKS but with a fully hooded front sight; production commenced in 1956 alongside the Type 56 assault rifle which is based on the AK-47). Originally designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov, it was based off the design of the AVS-36, but used the 7.62x39 round). The SKS was chosen as the standard service rifle with the Soviet armed forces in 1945 (it was chosen over a 1944 selective fire carbine design by Mikhail Kalashinkov, which lost out to the SKS, since Simonov was an elder statesman of Soviet gun design; this particular carbine design had features which were incorporated into the design of what evolved into the AK-47). Making its design seventy years old at the time of the films release.
