== Nagant M1895 ==
Nagant M1895 revolvers are service sidearms of the officers of the Russian Army, notably seen in hands of Capt. Prince Sergey Aleksandrovich Nashchyokin (Vyacheslav Tikhonov). Most revolvers are of post-1930 version but in one scene an unnamed officer (Aleksandr Zakharov) holds a correct pre-1930 Nagant.
== Various handguns ==
Some pistols and revolvers are very briefly seen in several scenes, sometimes in holsters. They unlikely can be identified.
= Rifles =
== Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon ==
Most rifles, seen in the movie, are Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon (and/or the pre-1935 version of Mosin Nagant M1891/30). Numerous soldiers of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment, including Semyon Vostrikov (Nikolay Rybnikov), Ivan Petrenko (Stanislav Chekan), "Graf" (Georgiy Yumatov), and unnamed soldiers (Arkadi Trusov, Aleksandr Susnin, Mikhail Vasilyev, Vsevolod Tyagushev, Aleksey Bakhar), Red Guards and the defenders of the Provisional Government carry these rifles during the revolutionary events of 1917.
== Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry ==
Some soldiers of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles.
== Mosin Nagant M1891/30 ==
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, identified by the hooded front sights, are also used by the soldiers.
== Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle ==
In the mass scene during the February Revolution 1917, one of the soldiers carries a Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle, without the sniper scope but identified due to the turned down bolt handle.
== Custom Mosin Nagant ==
In one scene a regimental bugler carries a short Mosin Nagant rifle that appears to be a custom shortened M1891 or M1891/30 rifle, visually modified to resemble an M1907 Carbine. Same props can be seen in a number of Gorky Film Studio production, like Khleb, zoloto, nagan or Ne stavte Leshemu kapkany....
