Sniper: Weapons of Retaliation (2009)

Sniper: Weapons of Retaliation is a foreign film made in Russia about Yashin, a Russian soldier in World War II assigned to first lead a group of Russian snipers to fight off the German onslaught in Stalingrad and in 1944, to combat a German sniper team hidden inside the Soviet Union guarding Hitler's secret weapon.

The following firearms were seen in the film: Sniper: Weapons of Retaliation.

An interesting note is that in the scene before, Yashin pulls back the bolt, yet it is seen here with the bolt still forward (which would render the weapon unable to fire), which means the PPSH portrayed in the image could just be a prop with fixed parts.
