It might be, but I watched the special featues on how the movie was made and Jean-Jacques Annaud said that there was a paragraph in a "very thinck history book" about the duel between Bruno Koenig and Vassilij Zaitsev. He says it was his primary inspiration for the movie; I know it sounds odd, one paragraph out of a huge book, but watch the special features if you own the DVD and see.
