Storm Over Asia (original title Potomok Chingis-Khana ("The Heir to Genghis Khan")) is a Soviet 1928 silent B&W movie directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin (Minin and Pozharsky, The Death Ray (Luch smerti)). In 1920 British troops occupy Mongolia (this is a pure fictional event). Young Mongolian hunter Bair quarrels with deceitful British fur merchant, wounds him in a brawl and runs away from pursuing soldiers. Soon Bair joins a Red partisan unit but he is captured in a battle and sentenced to death. Suddenly a British missionary who is skilled in Mongolian language and history finds out that Bair wears an amulet that belongs to a direct heir to Genghis Khan. The British general plans to use Bair as a ruler of Mongolia under British protectorate. But Bair soon understands these plans and leads the uprising.
The following weapons were used in the film Storm Over Asia (Potomok Chingis-Khana):
Handguns

A British soldier (Karl Gurnyak) who is given an order to execute Bair draws an M1911. The grip is seen.
Nagant M1895
A British officer is briefly seen with a revolver in one scene. It is most likely a Russian Nagant M1895.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1895
British troops are armed with Winchester Model 1895 rifles (Boris Barnet appears as one of Winchester-wielding British soldiers). In reality British army never used Winchester 95, but these guns were most likely the only foreign rifles, available for movie makers in large quantities. Some Red partisans also use Winchesters.
A soldier (Karl Gurnyak) escorts Bair.
Mosin Nagant M1891
A mix of Infantry and Dragoon Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are used by Red partisans.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*

A Red partisan carries a rifle that bears resemblance with a carbine version of Mannlicher M1895.
Shotguns and Muskets
Bolt Action Shotgun
What appears to be a Mosin Nagant M1891 rifle, converted to a shotgun, is seen in hands of a partisan. It is an early version of so called Frolovka.
Matchlock Musket
Several Red partisans are armed with archaic Matchlock Muskets. In the opening scene Bair is seen with a hunting gun that is also possible to be a matchlock but it is seen very unclear.
Machine Guns
Colt M1895
Colt M1895 machine guns are used by British troops and Red partisans. Most likely the machine guns are of Russian contract M1895/14 model.
The Red commander (Aleksandr Chistyakov) captured a machine gun.
