The Project: Panacea (Russian: Проект: Панацея; Proyekt (or Proekt): Panatseya) is a 2013 Russian zombie movie.

NB: While this movie was filmed in 2013 (according to IMDB), for whatever reason it premiered only in 2016. As result, actress Svetlana Togobitskya (who played one of the main roles), was tragically killed in car crash in 2015, and did not live to see the premiere.

The following weapons were used in the film The Project: Panacea (Proyekt: Panatseya):

WARNING! Major Spoiler

Handguns

M1911A1

An M1911A1 is the personal sidearm of Laura (Svetlana Nikolaeva) and Alex (Vyacheslav Bulavin). It is likely that only a single prop was reused for both characters, due to only a single gun being seen onscreen at a time.
