Seven Years in Tibet

Seven Years in Tibet is a 1997 American movie directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. The Austrian climber Heinrich Harrer takes part in a Himalayan expedition in 1939, although his wife is pregnant. At the Nanga Parbat, the egomaniac gets together with the expedition leader Peter Aufschnaiter but their conflict is interrupted. As the Second World War broke out, the British colonial power brought the brawlers into the internment camp. Only in 1944 did they manage to break out. Reluctantly, Harrer and Aufschnaiter clash and flee to nearby Tibet together. There, on the roof of the world, Harrer makes friends with Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Revolvers==
British and Tibetan army officers wield unknown revolvers which are mostly seen carried in holsters. Peter Aufschnaiter (David Thewlis) also carries one as he is disguised as a British officer.
==Tokarev TT-33 / Norinco Type 54==
A Tibetan monk is forced by Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers to shoot his older tutor with a post-1947 Tokarev TT-33 or Norinco Type 54 pistol.

=Submachine Guns=
==MP 40==
German soldiers at the train station in Graz have MP 40s. Since this scene takes place in 1939, the appearance is anachronistic. A more suitable choice would be the MP 28 or the MP 38.
==Sten Mk. II==
Some Sten Mk IIs are used by British-Indian soldiers. Like the MP 40, the appearance of the Sten in 1939 is an anachronism; the M1928A1 Thompson would be a more accurate choice.
==PPS-43 / Type 43==
The main weapon of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is the PPS-43 or its Chinese version, the Type 43 which is virtually identical to the Soviet PPS-43 save for markings.

Full-length Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifles are also used by some Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers.
