Shchors (sometimes released as Shors) is a Soviet 1939 B&W historical movie directed by Aleksandr Dovzhenko and Yuliya Solntseva and depicting the person of Nikolay Alexandrovitch Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov), one of the prominent Red Army commanders during the Russian civil war. The story show the events ofn 1918-1919 on Ukraine when Red troops under the command of Shchors and his comrade-in-arms Vasily Bozhenko (Ivan Skuratov) fought against Ukrainian Hetmanate, supported by Imperial German army, and then against Directorate of Ukraine and Polish troops.
The following weapons were used in the film Shchors:
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used by commanders of all armies, even by Imperial German officers. The revolvers seem to have post-1930 sights.
Pistols
FN Model 1900
Many German and Ukrainian officers carry FN Model 1900 pistols. Nikolay Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov) is seen with a holster for FN Model 1900 on his belt but it looks rather empty.
Ortgies Pocket Pistol
A personal handgun of Nikolay Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov) is a hammerless pistol that seems to be Ortgies Pocket Pistol.
Mauser C96
Vasily Bozhenko (Ivan Skuratov), his orderly and bodyguard Savka Troyan (Aleksandr Khvylya) and some other Red commanders carry Mauser C96 pistols in signature wooden holsters.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891
Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are widely used by soldiers of all armies. Usage of these rifles by German troops isn't completely incorrect as they captured numerous Mosin Nagant rifles during the decay of Russian Imperial army in 1917.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Anachronistic Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles are also used due to the lack of original M1891s.
Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine
Some Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines are also seen.
Custom Mosin Nagant Rifle
One or two Red soldiers carry Mosin Nagant short rifles that appear to be custom shortened Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon rifles. The result resembles M38 Carbine that went into production only in 1939.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
Most German soldiers and some Haidamaks (soldiers of Ukrainian army) carry Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles.
Mauser Karabiner 98b
Some full-length Mauser rifles have tangent rear sights and turned down bolt handles. They appear to be Karabiner 98b rifles, a version of Gewehr 1898 introduced in 1923 to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which only allowed Germany to produce carbines.
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ
What appears to be a Karabiner 98AZ is briefly seen during the battle in the opening scene.
Machine Guns
Lewis Gun
Red troops widely use Lewis Guns. These are Savage Arms Company produced machine guns, identified by the Light Ground Mount three-leg support (unlike the bipod of British Lewis), probably Russian contract version in 7.62x54R caliber (9,600 such Lewis-Savage machine guns were supplied to Russia in 1917).
Degtyaryov DP-27
An anachronistic DP-27 is briefly seen in one scene.
Maxim M1910
Maxim M1910 machine guns with smooth barrel covers are widely used by all armies.
Maxim M1910/30
A Maxim M1910/30 machine gun (or possibly early M1910 with ribbed water jacket) is used by German troops, standing for Maxim MG08.
Other Weapons
RG-14 Hand Grenades
Many Red soldiers carry RG-14 hand grenades. Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov) himself holds a pair of RG-14s when rebels in his regiment try to arrest him.
