Gavroche (Russian Гаврош; Gavrosh) is the 1937 Soviet drama, very loosely based on the novel Les Misérables of Victor Hugo.
The following weapons were used in the film Gavroche:
Pistols
Percussion Cap Pistol
Several characters, including Enjolras (Ivan Novoseltsev), Javert (Andrey Korablyov), Jean Prouvaire (Ivan Bobrov) and Marseille (Vasili Novikov) use Percussion Cap Pistols

Rifles & Muskets

Several Republicans (iqluding Gavroche (Nikolay Smorchkov (II)), Jean Prouvaire (Ivan Bobrov), Touchet (Dmitriy Popov), and Madeleine (Nina Zorskaya)) as well as near all Royalist soldiers use Charleville Muskets.
