A very rare guest of the Russian movie, the historically correct [[Nambu Type 14]] was used by the The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) throughout the movie. This gun had never seen in action: at the firing scenes, the muzzle flash is obviosly GI added and the slide hadn't moving. After a close inspection it can be seen, that, despute the screen gun is obviosly a Late Nambu model, part of the slade was tooked from the Early Nambu model. Most likely, the movie prop was partualy broken and repared with the parts of the other Namby Type 14 pistols or even assembled of the numerous heavy damaged Nambus. Two Namby Type 14 can be seen on the wall.

Philosophy of a Knife is a 2008 Russian-American horror movie, based on the story of the Japanese Unit 731.

Note: This movie was filmed at Khabarovsk, Russia, which likely influenced the choice of the weapons shown in the movie.


The following weapons were used in the film Philosophy of a Knife:


Pistols

Nambu Type 14

A rare appearance in the Russian movie, the historically correct Nambu Type 14 was used by the The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) throughout the movie. This gun had never seen in action: at the firing scenes, the muzzle flash is obviously GI added and the slide hadn't moving. Upon close inspection it can be seen that, despite the screen gun obviously being a Late Nambu model, part of the slide was taken from the Early Nambu model. Most likely, the movie prop was partially broken and repaired with the parts of the other Nambu Type 14 pistols, or possibly even assembled from numerous heavy damaged Nambus. Two Nambu Type 14s can be seen on the wall.

The Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" can be seen on the wall.

Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser.

Later examples had a sight adjustable to a still unrealistic 500 meters. C96 pistols with fixed rear sights are very rare.
The Mauser can be seen at the top, left. Note the two Nambus under it.
