Best Answer

If you are referring to the German sniper (shot by Pvt. Daniel Jackson [Barry Pepper]) who shoots Pvt. Adrian Caparzo (Vin Diesel) in the courtyard overlooked by the bombed out apartment with the French family, it is likely (if authentic) a Karabiner Kar 98K fitted with a scope. This is a guess however, as (if memory serves) it is a manual load, bolt action rifle, so could not have been a Walther Gewehr 43 which is a semi-automatic weapon.

There was no German sniper in Saving Private Ryan that had a major role. There was an American sniper in the squad with Tom Hanks.

Are you thinking of the German sniper in the movie "Enemy at the Gates" which is about the dual between a German sniper and a Russian Sniper?? Ed Harris played the character of Major Koenig and Jude Law played the young Russian sniper.

There is indeed a German sniper in the French town they first come to. The snipers real name is Leos Stransky.
