It centers on a girl named Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) who's trying not to struggle with her half-sister Dina (Katya Gorina), who is a daughter of a gangster (Roman Ageev).

The following weapons were used in the film Sisters (Syostry):


IZH-38 Air Gun

On the shooting range Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) uses IZh-38 with and without a scope. IZh-38 is a rather standard training air rifle, which is used not only as sporting but also in basic military training all around the USSR and Post-Soviet territories. Criminals led by Jeep wrangler also can be seen firing them on the shooting range. Jeep wrangler himself (director Sergei Bodrov in cameo) can be seen with IZh-38 on one of the Russian posters of the movie.

Bolt Action .22 Rifle

Small caliber bolt action rifles are used by Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) and other girls at a shooting competition. It's hard to identify the actual model but the general shape bears resemblance with TOZ rifles, such as old TOZ-12 or more modern TOZ-78.

Sveta fires a small caliber with a scope at the competition with other girls.

AKMS

AKMS can be seen in the hands of many gangsters, including the girls' father Alik (Roman Ageev).
