AKs are AK-74s, not AKMs. Note the muzzle brakes and less curved magazines. The O/U shotgun makes me think about MTs 8, a very popular Soviet skeet gun. The screen gun has such version of stock. Greg-Z (talk) 01:17, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

I have a gut feeling that PM is blank firing IZh-79-9T Makarych. The reasons are weak but still: the dark blue color of the pistol, contrary to less dark blueing of original PMs, slightly different grip plates, slightly more protruding magazine, different shape of the muzzle. All these features match IZh-79-9 better that the original PM, as it seems to me. Of all pistols of Makarych family IZh-79-9 matches better, and it was best available in 2007 as its production started in February 2004. The use of non-lethal weapons in Kazakhstan is permitted to civil population, so the moviemakers had no problems to obtain these gun. All these are only indirect evidences, but still...
