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.
Nagant M1895 - 7.62x38R Nagant. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.
Two bandits hold Nagant revolvers.
Same character holds the driver of the first tank Vasiliy Krivich at gunpoint. He wears the insignia of
Yefreytor of the Drozdovskiy regiment of the White Army.
Another White bandit holds the driver of the second tank Nikolay Kayrat at gunpoint.
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.

During the encounter with the White bandits, Mizulin's TT switches to another prop. This pistol has a different blueing and a reddish color of the chamber.
The pistol falls on the ground.
Mizulin interrogates Vasiliy Krivich who is exposed as a German spy. In this scene the pistol switches back to the first prop.
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.
A saboteur (Vladimir Veryovochkin) at the right holds an MP38.
Two saboteurs carry MP38s.
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.
Tokarev SVT-40 - 7.62x54mmR
A soldier in center carries an SVT.
Same soldier is seen at the far right.
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 M1891/30 - 7.62x54mm R

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.
Mosin Nagant M91/30 "Obrez" - 7.62x54mm R. The screen gun has similar configuration but is made of M91 rifle.

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.

A T-38 light tank is seen at the right in the same scene.
A row of BT-7 tanks on the Kharkov tank factory. Most tanks don't have the turrets installed yet. This scene seems to be a CGI.
