'''''Gladiator for Rent''''' (''Gladiator po naymu''; Russian: Гладиатор по найму) is a 1993 Belarusian-Ukrainian detective/crime drama based on the novel "The Case of the Velvet Claws" by Erle Stanley Gardner. The owner of the private detective agency Ilya Mirsky (nicknamed "Gladiator for Hire" for his habit of taking the hard cases) receives a tempting offer from the wife of a media mogul,  Yeva Lukachyova (who uses the alias Yeva Adamovich) - he should not allow the leak of compromising information, which would deprive Yeva of her multimillion-dollar inheritance. Deciding to take the case, Ilya could have hardly imagined that he would have to face a whole series of sophisticated murders, and that his own life may become endangered.

==P1001==
Guriy Lukachyov ([[Nikolai Yeryomenko, Sr.]]) uses a [[P1001]], an East German-produced copy of the [[Walther PP]]. The same gun is subsequently used by Yeva ([[Marina Mogilevskaya]]); and later her nephew, Stas Kostylev ([[Sergey Gazarov]]).

==Suppressed Walther P38==
What appears to be a suppressed [[Walther P38]] is used by Ilya Mirsky in the final scene.

=Epstein's Gun Shop=
One scene in the film that requires its own section is Epstein's Gun Shop. Several different types of weapons could be seen here. Most of them are shown only from a distance and are a little blurry, but, nevertheless, could be easily identified. ''Note: guns which were already on the page are listed here again to save space.'' 

==P1001==
Several [[P1001]] pistols are seen in Epstein's Gun Shop (Guriy's own P1001 pistol was bought in this shop).
[[Image:P1001.jpg|thumb|none|300px|P1001, an East German copy of the Walther PP - .32 ACP]]
[[Image:Gpn gun shop 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Several P1001s are visible on the lower shelf.]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
Several [[TT-33]]s are seen in Epstein's Gun Shop.

==Luger P08==
A [[Luger P08]] also appears as well.

==1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol==
What appears to be a nickel-plated [[1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol]] is seen in Epstein's Gun Shop.

[[Image:Gpn gun shop 5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the pistol.]]

==FN Model 1905==
Four pocket pistols (two of which are nickel-plated) are also seen. These appears to be the [[FN Model 1905]] or some of its numerous clones of Spanish Eibar origin.

[[File:Gpn gun shop 4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pocket pistols seen marked with '''3'''.]]

==Suppressed Walther P38==
What appears to be a suppressed [[Walther P38]] is also seen. A suppressed weapon being sold over the counter at an official gun shop is purely artistic license. It is probably the same prop which is seen later in the hands of Mirsky.

==Sturmgewehr 44 (Mocked up as a M16)==
Several [[StG 44]] rifles, mocked up as [[M16]]s, appear in Epstein's Gun Shop. Note that this is Belarusfilm's fake "M16", which differs from Mosfilm's "M16s".
[[File:StG44-M16-MovieProp.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sturmgewehr 44, modified to resemble an early ArmaLite AR-15 rifle - 7.62x39mm blank]]

[[Image:Gpn_gun_shop_1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A modified StG 44 visible on the top shelf.]]

==Custom Compact Sturmgewehr 44==
A custom compact [[StG 44]] is also seen in the gun shop. This is the exact same modified Sturmgewehr 44 that was previously used in the 1990 film ''[[Road Hawks (Stervyatniki na dorogakh)]]''.
