Public Enemies (2009) Mauser Sporting Rifle
Watch Firearms Featured in "Public Enemies"Public Enemies (2009)
Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis
Mauser Sporting rifle - 9.5 x 57mm
This Mauser sporting rifle by Emil Kerner & Sohn was used by
Christian Bale in the opening scenes of Public Enemies
as he gunned down Channing Tatum, playing Pretty Boy Floyd. In
reality, Floyd was killed months after Dillinger's own death and
not in any way that resembled his death in the film.
