I believe the rifle option for this piece was actually modeled after a Marine Scout Sniper Rifle or possibly even it's spiritual successor, the mk12 SPR rifle.
The MSSR is more likely because the gun appears to have a 24" barrel (at 1/4 scale of course).
In any case, those guns are semi-auto (or would primarily utilize semi-auto in the case that they had been fitted with a select fire trigger). Each are also fitted with an appropriate scope.
The selection of that gun would make sense given Frank's scout sniper background while in the Marines.

However, I agree that the Barrett will be an awesome addition to this statue!

Ah thanks for the info I didn’t know that . I’m not a gun expert but I felt like the Barrett’s was more of a damage incurring gun . It could be used to snipe but I visualized Frank using it to shoot vehicles or gas depots causing max chaos and damage .

Heck yeah. For sure. It is a solid pairing with Frank.

After a quick look on eBay it looks like there are a lot more 1/6 weapons than 1/4.
One seller has a good selection of 1/4 but shipping from Russia.

After looking at my Punisher, I’m convinced he needs something strapped to his back. Sort of like Bowen’s first Punisher. Might have to go with the .50 cal as well. Hope you don’t mind me stealing the idea Subby.

not at all . I think it will take this piece to the next level. There is a gorgeous English sniper rifle model L96. It’s something that would look cool on his back imo
