Hilfspolizei Kirak (uncredited) (at the left) and Fedos (Igor Karpievich) with M91/30 rifles.
Fedos' rifle lacks the hood on the front sight but due to the rounded receiver, his rifle is identified as an M91/30, and the hood is removed or broken.
Another view of the same scene.
Fedos holds his rifle in another scene. The front sight is of M91/30, with removed or broken hood. The cleaning rod with small diameter head is also a feature of M91/30.

MG42
An MG42 is used by the partisans. Later an MG42, probably the same prop reused, is seen in German Maj. Kluge's car. This machine gun doesn't fire; in firing scene it is replaced with a PKM, visually modified as MG34 (see below).
