AND it may be airsoft?? The mag looks tooo big..
With the round, hooded front sight and forward cant to the magazine, my vote is that is an HK G3 variant. In the video, it looks like the butt stock rails are extended slightly, but the small shoulder pad you would expect to see on the end is broken off/missing...

ETA: Firing a 7.62 G3 with just those small rails extending from the rear of the weapon pressed to the shoulder would most likely end with the shooter getting those driven into his/her/its shoulder from the recoil...I know more than one person that didn't respect the recoil of the G3 and ended up with a black eye from a loose shooting position

Which would lead me to believe that this person probably hasn't fired the weapon before (if it is real) or that it is an Airsoft replica, given the lackadaisical manner in which they are handling it...
