Tanks for Stalin (Tanki) is a Russian 2018 war action film directed by Kim Druzhinin. The plot is inspired by the real events of April-May 1940 when chief designer of the brand new T-34 tank Mikhail Koshkin and his team underwent a 2,000-kilometre drive from Kharkov to Moscow for a demonstration of the tanks to the Soviet leaders. In the film, the story is retold in a completely implausible way, including the absurdic White bandits (in 1940!), German saboteurs and a Abwehr spy who infiltrated the Koshkin's team (in reality, the T-34 was a surprise for Nazis when Wehrmacht first encountered this tank in June 1941).
The following weapons were used in the film Tanks for Stalin (Tanki):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Several White bandits hold Nagant M1895 revolvers.
Pistols
TT-33
Lt. of State Security Pyotr Andreevich Mizulin (Anton Filipenko) carries a TT-33. Two slightly different pistols are seen in his hands in various scenes, both of anachronistic post-1947 version.
Mauser C96
The chieftan of the White bandits "Batya" ("Daddy") (Yuriy Itskov) and two of his men are armed with Mauser C96 pistols.
Submachine Guns
MP38
Several German saboteurs are armed with MP38 submachine guns.
Rifles
SVT-40
An SVT-40 is carried by a Red Army soldier during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939. It may be used as a stand-in for correct SVT-38.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Red Army soldiers during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol and the NKVD guards of the Kremlin carry Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles.
Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine
Several German saboteurs, including their commander Gozzo (Aleksey Ovsyannikov), White bandits, Soviet Militsioners and Red Army artillerymen carry Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbines.
Mosin Nagant "obrez"
The bandit "Borodatiy" ("Bearded") (Igor Grabuzov) is armed with a Mosin Nagant "obrez" sawed-off rifle. The rear sight allows to identify the base rifle as the original M1891. Another bandit is also seen with an "obrez", likely the same prop reused.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DT
Degtyaryov DT machine guns are mounted on various Soviet tanks. Only barrels are seen. These guns are most likely modern replicas.
RPD-44 (visually modified as MG34)
The German saboteurs use two RPD-44 machine guns, visually modified to resemble an MG34.
Other Weapons
RPG-40
An RPG-40 anti-tank grenade is seen in hands of German agent Schulz (Leonid Timtsunik).
45 mm 53-K AT Gun
A 45 mm 53-K AT gun is briefly seen in the night scene.
Trivia
Tanks
According to the filmmakers, one of the two "main characters" - first experimental T-34 tanks is a visually modified T-34-85, while another one is based on an armored recovery vehicle T-34-T which is in turn a rebuild wartime tank. Other tanks, seen in the movie, seem to be a mix of genuine vehicles, full-size replicas and CGIs.
Footage
The footage, both documentary and from 1949 film Stalingradskaya bitva, is used in the movie.
