Czterej pancerni i pies (English: Four Tankers and A Dog) is a Polish produced war adventure television series which ran from 1966 - 1970. It tells the story of a Polish Army tank crew in the USSR during the Second World War.

The following weapons were used in the television series Four Tankers and A Dog (Czterej pancerni i pies):



Pistols

Tokarev TT-33

Polish troops officers on the Eastern Front are equipped with Soviet Tokarev TT-33 pistols.

Lt. Olgierd Jarosz (Roman Wilhelmi) leads his men in the attack with his gun in hand.

Submachine Guns

Lanchester Mk. I*

The Lanchester Mk. I* is used by Japanese troops. It may be used as a stand-in for a Type 100 submachine gun, which was really used by Japan.

Shotguns

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M91/30

Soviet and Polish infantry primarily use the Mosin Nagant M91/30.

AKS-47

The AKS-47 is seen several times in the hands of German and Polish soldiers. While certainly anachronistic for World War II, it may be an attempted stand-in for the German Sturmgewehr 44. It's worth noting that an AK-47 with a wooden stock would better depict a Sturmgewehr, but due to unknown reasons, the folding-stock AKS-47 is used instead.
