Black Pea Coats (Chyornye bushlaty) is a Russian 2018 war mini-series directed by Vitaliy Vorobyov. The plot depicts the activities of a Soviet special operations squad of the Northern Fleet in 1941 (inspired by the real 181st Separate Reconnaissance Squad and its serviceman, subsequently commander Viktor Leonov). "Black pea coats" was a common nickname of the Soviet naval infantry (marines).
The following weapons were used in the miniseries Black Pea Coats (Chyornye bushlaty):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Sailor Sanya Syomin (Pyotr Puchok) carries a Nagant M1895 revolver in several scenes. A Nagant is also seen in holster of Militsioner Yasha (Igor Liventsov).
Nagant M1895 - 7.62x38R Nagant. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.
Yasha, a
Militsioner in the town of Murmansk, carries a Nagant in holster.

Pistols
Tokarev TT-33
TT-33 pistols are used by the instructor of the special squad Senior Lieutenant Sashok (Ilya Spinov), sailor Yukhim (Ivan Latushko), Starshina (Sgt. Maj.) Gusko (Timur Savin). A TT is also seen in hands of a German Unteroffizier (Andrey Fomin). Levontiy Leontyev (Vyacheslav Krikunov) carries a TT holster in many scenes, but it seems to be flat and empty.
Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Pre-1947 version.

Unteroffizier in charge of the rangefinder post holds a TT during the attack of the Soviet special squad.

Walther PPK (Erma EGP 75S)
A German engineer (Grigoriy Zeltser) of the Organisation Todt (a military engineering organisation in Nazi Germany) who is captured during the special squad raid carries a Walther PPK style pistol. The shape of the slide serration allows to identify the gun as a Erma EGP 75S blank- and gas-firing pistol, based on the PPK.
Erma EGP 75S - 8mm blank and gas ammo
Another view of the pistol. Note the large sloped serration that is unique for Erma PPK-based pistols.
Submachine Guns
PPD-40
Levontiy Leontyev (Vyacheslav Krikunov), Starshina (Sgt. Maj.) subsequently Junior Lieutenant and a platoon commander, carries a PPD-40 throughout the series. The wooden stock of the submachine gun looks like it could be made anew.

MP38
A number of German soldiers and officers are armed with MP38 submachine guns. Captured MP38s are used by sailors Kesha (Ivan Lapin), Krokha (Evgeniy Chernoray) and Motya (Nikita Kudryavtsev), and former criminal, now the member of the special squad Timofey (Anton Filipenko).

MP40 (dummy)
Crude, supposedly cast dummy MP40s are also seen in several scenes.
Motya's and Kesha's MP40s look more like cast dummies.
Similar rough looking MP40 is seen in hands of a gunned down German sentry.
Rifles
SVT-40
Yukhim (Ivan Latushko), Stakh (Yuriy Mikhaylovskiy), Kesha (Ivan Lapin), Motya (Nikita Kudryavtsev), Krokha (Evgeniy Chernoray), "Pomor" (Igor Kulachko), and Starshina Gusko (Timur Savin) carry SVT-40 rifles in various scenes.

Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle
In a pre-war scene Masha Belaya (Aleksandra Tyuftey) uses a Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle during the hunt on the fugitive convicts. Krokha (Evgeniy Chernoray) holds an M91/30 Sniper Rifle in training. Some M91/30 rifles with turned down bolt handles of the sniper version but without scopes are also seen.

Another view of Levontiy's M38 Carbine in training.
Levontiy holds a carbine during the first mission of the special unit.
One of the men of Levontiy's platoon carries a carbine.
An M38 Carbine is seen in hands of a German
Jäger. The front section of the stock of this carbine looks somewhat too long for a standard M38, so it may be a full-length rifle shortened to carbine length.
"Ded"'s invention, a remotely controlled mannequin of a scout with a carbine "in hand" is used to lure a German sniper.
Timofey carries a carbine in the scene on the submarine.
In the same scene "Pomor"'s SVT (see above) switches to an M38 Carbine due to a continuity error.
During the landing, Tsaryov's M44 Carbine (see below) switches to an M38 Carbine due to a continuity error.

A good view of Tsaryov's (Nikita Lavrenenko) M44 Carbine. During the following landing from the submarine, he carries an M38 Carbine instead.
Karabiner 98k
Most German soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles. Kar 98k rifles are also seen in hands of Levontiy Leontyev (Vyacheslav Krikunov), Starshina Gusko (Timur Savin), Timofey (Anton Filipenko) and "Pomor" (Igor Kulachko), as well as a number of Hiwi (Hilfswilliger (auxiliary volunteer) were Wehrmacht auxiliary forces mostly recruited of Soviet POWs). Several versions of 98k are seen, with open and hooded front sights and with different barrel bands.

Ivan Lapin) carries a captured sniper Kar 98k.
He hands the rifle to Masha.
vz. 24 Czech Mauser
During the battle with the Soviet special squad a German Jäger holds a short rifle with straight bolt handle and sling swivels positioned below the stock. These features allow to indetify the rifle as Vz. 24 Czech Mauser (Gewehr 24(t) on Wehrmacht service).
Czech vz. 24 - 7.92x57mm Mauser
A
Jäger at the far right holds a Mauser rifle with a straight bolt handle and sling swivels below the stock.
Unidentified Mauser rifle
In the same scene another Jäger, seen only through the sniper scope, holds a Mauser 98 style carbine with straight bolt handle. This rifle seems shorter that a Kar 98k and resembles a Vz.16/33 Czech Mauser but the bolt handle doesn't match this model, and the stock lacks the grasping grooves that are common for vz. 16/33.
The
Jäger with a Mauser carbine in hands is gunned down.
TOZ-8
In the scene on the shooting range of the Osoaviakhim training school, Masha Belaya (Aleksandra Tyuftey) shows her marksmanship, firing a TOZ-8 .22 caliber sporting rifle.

Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
"Pomor" (Igor Kulachko), a local hunter, carries a Double Barreled Shotgun when he comes to be enlisted in the special squad. This is a model with exposed hammers, most likely a TOZ production.
For reference: Russian TOZ-B double barreled side by side shotgun - 16 Gauge
"Pomor" carries his shotgun.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-27
A DP-27 is mainly used by Azamat (Azamat Nigmanov). In one scene Motya (Nikita Kudryavtsev) and an uncredited sailor are seen with DP-27s.

Other Weapons
PTRD-41
A PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle, converted to a sniper rifle, is used by Masha (Aleksandra Tyuftey) against German snipers who use armor shields. In another scene Tsaryov (Nikita Lavrenenko) uses the same gun, but it is fitted with a different sniper scope.

Trivia
8.8 cm Flak
A German anti-aircraft battery on which Leontyev's platoon makes a raid is armed with 8.8 cm AA guns of unclear model (Flak 36 seems to be the best guess). This episode is based on the real operation of Viktor Leonov's squad although it happened in October 1944, not 1941 as in the series.
For reference: German FlaK 36 (note two-piece barrel with locking collar) - 88x571mm R
A 8.8 cm Flak is seen through the sniper scope. The image of the gun seems to be a CGI.
Two artillerymen carry an ammo crate. The markings on the crate look strange, as the first line "Container 3 obus" is French, meaning "Container with 3 shells". The second line claims that the ammo is for Flak 18.
The 8.8 cm Flak on the shore. The gun may be a real wartime weapon or a modern replica.
The Flak is covered with camouflage net. The markings on the ammo crates claim that this is "Flak 38" while such model didn't exist.

The 8.8 cm Flak is seen on a production image.
Navy
Soviet destroyers and submarines, seen in various scenes, are scale models and 3D images from the World of Warships game.
An S-class submarine. The 100 mm B-24PL gun is seen on the deck, and the 45 mm 21-K AA gun is partially seen on the superstructure.

A
Shchuka-class submarine of Series X-bis. It is armed with two 45 mm 21-K guns. The shape of the superstructure is correct for the Northern Fleet
Shchuka.
Airplanes
Masha fires her sniper rifle at a Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber. The plane is a CGI.
Gun Posters
Several education gun posters are seen in the headquarters of the special unit.
A poster of
PPSh-41 is seen on the wall at the left.
A poster of
Nagant M1895 is seen on the wall at the right. Note that one of the revolvers, depicted on the poster, is a long-barreled target version.
