__TOC__
= Handguns =
== Nagant M1895 ==
One of the weapons of The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov) is a Nagant M1895. Nagants are also used by Politruk (Vyacheslav Shikhaleev), Moryachok (Pavel Abramenkov) and a villager Kostya (Konstantin Simonov). In the final scene Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny) takes the revolver of killed Moryachok.
== Walther P38 ==
Walther P38 are widely used by German officers and soldiers, seen in hands of Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny), Hauptmann (Capt.) Klein (Paul Orlyanskiy), soldier Günther (Mikhail Melin) and others. The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov) and Prostachyok (Yuriy Borisov) use captured P38s in various scenes. Only a single pistol is seen in a time, so possibly a single prop is reused throughout the film.
== Luger P08 ==
While Luger P08 pistol isn't used in the film, it is seen in hands of SS-Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny) on film posters. Judging by the barrel, a Denix replica is used.
= Submachine Guns =
== PPSh-41 ==
Politruk (Vyacheslav Shikhaleev) carries a PPSh-41 submachine gun.
== MP38 ==
A number of German soldiers and NCOs, notably Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny) and Unterfeldwebel Koch (Oleg Klyonov), carry MP38 submachine guns. Moryachok (Pavel Abramenkov) and Prostachyok (Yuriy Borisov) use captured MP38s.
== MP40 (Denix) ==
The commander of German Gebirgsjager (mountain troops) unit Steiger (Yuriy Utkin) carries an MP40 submachine gun that is most likely a Denix non-firing replica. MP40s are also briefly seen in hands of several soldiers.

== Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle ==
The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov) uses a Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle in battle.
== Vz. 24 Czech Mauser ==
Many German soldiers, including Adler (German Segal), August (Ilya Kiporenko), Günther (Mikhail Melin), Bruno (Andrey Kurganov) and Wolf (Nikolay Orlovskiy), are armed with vz. 24 Czech Mauser rifles (Wehrmacht designation Gewehr 24(t)). Captured rifles are seen in hands of The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov), Moryachok (Pavel Abramenkov), Prostachyok (Yuriy Borisov) and Kostya (Konstantin Simonov). The rifles lack grasping grooves on the stocks that is probably a result of post-war (or even modern) rework (for example, Yugoslav vz.23/24 rifles underwent such rework with using elements of Kar 98k stocks). Some rifles have hooded front sight that was issued to the late production series of Vz. 24.
