Philosophy of a Knife is a 2008 Russian-American horror Z-movie, loosely based on the story of Japanese Unit 731. The film was critically panned due to its ultra-intense graphic violence and meaningless content, very little matching with real historical circumstances.

Note: This movie was filmed in Khabarovsk, Russia, which likely influenced the choice of 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 a Russian movie, the historically correct Nambu Type 14 is used by The Officer #1 (Tetsuro Sakagami) throughout the movie. In firing scenes, the muzzle flash is added through CGI, and the bolt never moves.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that while the screen gun is obviously a late-model Nambu, part of the slide is taken from the early Nambu model. Most likely, the movie prop was partially broken and repaired with parts from other Nambu Type 14 pistols, or possibly even assembled from numerous heavily-damaged Nambus.

Two Nambu Type 14s can also be seen in a gun closet.

Makarov PM

In firing scenes, The Officer #1's P88 switches to an also anachronistic Makarov PM.

The Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" can be seen in a gun closet.

Rifles

Imperial Japanese Army soldiers are armed with completely historically incorrect Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifles.

Full-length, Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle with Russian PU 3.5x sniper scope (this example is one of the repurposed SVT-40 scopes, 91/30 PU scopes had consistent tube diameter as the mount rings were shorter) and down turned bolt handle - 7.62x54mm R
Numerous Mosin Nagants near the wall.
Note the turned-down bolt handle.
