== Winchester Model 1895 ==
Winchester Model 1895 rifles are most widely used long guns in the movie. They are used by Sergei (Yuriy Bogatyryov), store manager Ivan Sergeevich Shatokhin (Nikolay Grinko), Chukchas, including shaman Keleuge (Maksim Munzuk), Val (Marina Likhun) and young hunter Gimalkot (Aleksei Oorzak), and nearly all crewmembers of Horsfield's schooner Virginia, including John Horsfield (Oleg Borisov), Stan Stewart (Algimantas Masiulis), hunters and sailors Schulz (Afanasiy Trishkin), Riff (Ivan Bortnik), Frank Price (Valentin Bukin), Drake (Aleksey Zharkov), Beddoes (Anatoliy Rudakov), Lamley (Anatoliy Bystrov), and unnamed ones (Ivan Ganzha, Aleksandr Pashutin and Vasili Popov). Russian Contract rifles are most widely seen; also there is a single sporterized Winchester 1895 and Model 1895 Carbine. These two guns often pass from hands to hands, switching with standard M1895 rifles.
== Sporterized Vetterli Model 1869/70 ==
During the final shootout Schulz's (Afanasiy Trishkin) Winchester 1895 switches to a sporterized Vetterli Model 1869/70 rifle. This gun has the handguard shortcut for most of its length, retain the original 11-shot tube magazine, and has the slightly shortened barrel. There is a possibility that same prop was used in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (filmed by same studio and same year) to portray Col. Moran's airgun.
== Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine ==
Mosin Nagant rifles that appear to be anachronistic M1938 Carbines are briefly seen in hands of some Chukcha hunters and Red Army soldiers.
= Shotguns =
== Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun ==
What appear to be a Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun is briefly seen in hands of aged Red soldier.
= Machine Guns =
== Maxim ==
A Maxim machine gun is mounted on Red patrol boat in the opening scene. A Maxim is also seen on the camp of Red unit. Machine guns are seen only in distance, so it's impossible to identify the exact version (though M1910/30 is most credible).
