__TOC__
= Revolvers =
== Nagant M1895 ==
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by a Red Army commander Timofey (Aleksandr Lenkov) and by numerous White Army officers. All revolvers are of post-1930 version.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
= Pistols =
== Astra 900 ==
An Astra 900 pistol, standing for Mauser C96, is a personal sidearm of White Army Staff Capt. Chyorniy (Oleg Borisov). In several scenes this pistol is carried by Chyorniy's aide, an unnamed Poruchik (Valeri Mironov). Astra 900 is also seen in several other Lenfilm productions, including Nachalnik Chukotki, and Strogovy.
== Mauser C96 "Bolo" ==
Due to a continuity error, Staff Capt. Chyorniy's (Oleg Borisov) Astra 900 switches to a Mauser C96 "Bolo", and later back to Astra. Same pistol is used by Myachik (Andrey Rostotskiy), the commander of reconnaissance of a Red Army regiment. Upon close inspection this pistol appears to have a full-size grip and early style lanyard ring, so it's possibly a standard C96 with barrel, shortened down to 3.9-inch (99mm).
==Wz. 35 Vis==
A British officer (Igor Dmitriev), sent to White Army as a technical adviser on tanks, carries a Wz. 35 Vis pistol, probably standing for M1911 (he even carries this pistol in US Army M1916 holster). Possibly same prop is seen in several other Lenfilm productions, like Moy drug Ivan Lapshin.
== Various pistols ==
A pistol is very briefly and unclear seen in hands of engineer Antonov (Igor Chernitskiy), a member of Red covert organisation. This gun appears to be hammerless. It can be a member of vast family of Ruby pistols but it's only a guess.
A compact hammerless pistol is briefly seen among the belongings of the British officer.
= Rifles =
== Mosin Nagant M1891/30 ==
Most Red and White soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
== Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine ==
Reds and Whites also use out of time Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbines.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
= Shotguns =
== IZh-K ==
In one scene Makar Zhuk (Maksim Minin) fires a single barreled shotgun with exposed hammer that belonged to his grandfather (Georgiy Teykh), the watchman in the manor house. The shotgun appears to be IZh-K (IZh-17, the direct descendant of IZh-K, is also possible but IZh-17s rarely have a groove on stock that is seen on the screen gun).
= Machine Guns =
== Maxim M1910 ==
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by Reds and Whites. They are also mounted on the "British tank" (see below).
== Maxim M1910/30 ==
Maxim M1910/30 machine guns are also used by Reds and Whites and mounted on the "British tank" (see below).
= Other Weapons =
== RG-14/30 Hand Grenade ==
Some Red soldiers carry RG-14 (most likely RG-14/30 version) hand grenades.
== RGD-33 Hand Grenade ==
In the course of events an aged Red Army soldier Gavryukov alias Fadeyich (Vladimir Alekseyenko) gives two hand grenades (without fuzes) to Makar (Maksim Minin) who is sent on recon mission. These grenades appear to be anachronistic RGD-33.
= Trivia =
== Holsters ==
==76.2 mm divisional gun model 1902==
Red and White troops use 76.2 mm divisional gun model 1902 (probably M1902/30 version) field guns.
== Armour ==
=== "British Tank" ===
A "British tank" is a valuable plot item. The screen vehicle is a mockup, build around some wheeled truck. Its outlook bears resemblance more with a German Sturmpanzerwagen A7V than British "rhomboid" tanks. Three Maxims are mounted on the tank, one in the superstructure and two on boards.
In one scene the British officer shows a scale model of Medium Mark B tank to White Army officers.
=== Armoured Cars ===
White troops also use several Austin armoured cars (modern replicas). Each Austin is armed with two Maxim machine guns (they aren't seen close enough to be identified as M1910 or M1910/30).
