Don't Be Afraid, I Am Here For You (Russian title Ne boysya, ya s toboy, Azerbaijani title Qorxma, mən səninləyəm) is a 1981 Soviet Azerbaijani adventure musical comedy, directed by Yuliy Gusman. The film is set in late 19th century in Transcaucasian region of Russian Empire (modern Azerbaijan). Two circus actors, trick rider Rustam and martial artist San Sanych, visit Rustam's native village where they befriend with a young singer Teimur. Teimur is in love with Telly, daughter of local oil magnate Farzally-beg who opposes such marriage. Two friends decide to help Teimur; meanwhile Farzally-beg hires a brigand Jaffar and his gang against Rustam who appears to be the owner of the land where oil could be found.

The following weapons were used in the film Don't Be Afraid, I Am Here For You (Ne boysya, ya s toboy):

Later Teimur (Polad Bülbüloghlu) holds a Nagant when Farzally-beg deceives him about Rustam. Nagants are also widely used by Jaffar (Hasan Turabov) and his gang. All revolvers are of post-1930 version.
