Spies (Razvedchitsy; literally Female Spies or Female Secret Agents) is a 2013 Russian war drama TV series. During World War II, two young female agents of the Soviet intelligence service, Arina Prozorovskaya (Svetlana Ivanova) and Zoya Velichko (Svetlana Ustinova), successfully act together in numerous dangerous missions behind enemy lines despite their personal hatred toward each other.
The following weapons were used in the television series Spies (Razvedchitsy):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
In the episode that shows the criminal past of Zoya Velichko (Svetlana Ustinova), Zoya's accomplice Voron ("Raven") (Oleg Morozov) holds a Nagant M1895 revolver. Voron's revolver is later taken by Zoya. In the war scenes, Nagant revolvers are used by Arina Prozorovskaya (Svetlana Ivanova), Capt. Valeriy Shapkin (Kirill Zhandarov), an unnamed Major of the medical service (Aleksandr Sayutalin), and a Polish female partisan named Beata (Aleksandra Bolshakova).
Webley .455 Mk VI
During the mission in Nazi-occupied Riga, a British MI-6 agent, acting under the name of Ivan Sergeevich Steblov (Ignat Akrachkov), owns a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver. Later, his gun is seen in hands of scientist Boris Serebrov (Valeriy Kukhareshin). As the series was filmed at the Lenfilm studio, there is a decent possibility that this particular revolver is the same gun used in numerous Lenfilm productions, notably The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Pistols
TT-33
In several scenes, Zoya Velichko and Arina Prozorovskaya use TT-33 pistols. TT pistols are also seen in hands of intelligence school instructor Capt. Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin) and some minor characters. All pistols that are seen close are pre-1947 versions.
Mauser C96 (Denix)
In the episode in Riga, Artis (Aleksandr Ronis) gives a Mauser C96 to Zoya and Arina. The screen gun is a non-firing Denix replica. According to the storyline, the pistol is unloaded.
Luger P08
During the mission against Polish partisans leader Zbigniew Ternowiecki in 1944, Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin) carries a Luger P08. Zoya takes Petrov's pistol after he is wounded. Lugers are also used by German officers SS Obersturmführer Keller (Andrey Polishchuk) and Luftwaffe Maj. Gunter von Rickert (Markus Kunze), Soviet Capt. Valeriy Shapkin (Kirill Zhandarov), and two of Ternowiecki's bodyguards. It seems to be that two pistols are reused throughout the series, and one or maybe both of those guns are blank- or gas-firing replicas.
Luger P08 (Denix)
Denix replicas of Luger P08 are widely used throughout the series, used by Arina, her husband Vladimir Semyonov (Anatoliy Rudenko), Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin), Soviet agent Vadim (Igor Kopylov) who acts under the persona of SS Obersturmführer Walser, and some German officers and NCOs. These guns can be identified as Denix replicas by the screw in the cover and unnatural magazine and barrel.
Walther PPK
Ternowiecki's bodyguard Stefania (Oksana Bazilevich) carries a Walther PPK.
Dreyse Model 1908
A Dreyse Model 1908 pocket pistol is used by Nikolay Petrov.
Browning Hi-Power
During the shootout with Ternowiecki's guards, Nikolay Petrov's Luger P08 switches to a Browning Hi-Power due to a continuity error. This pistol existed during WWII and was adopted in Nazi Germany as Pistole 640(b), but the actual screen gun is a post-war model.
M1911-Style Pistol
In one scene Zoya fires an M1911-style pistol that switches to a TT in the next moment. The pistol looks more like a blank-firing or less-lethal gun than a live pistol. Possible M911s are also seen in M1916 holsters of US Army personnel manning a road block in 1945 Berlin.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
In several scenes, Soviet officers and soldiers use PPSh-41 submachine guns, mostly with drum magazines.
MP38
Starshina (Sgt. Maj.) Savchenko (Maksim Khomenko) carries a captured MP38 submachine gun. An MP38 is also seen in hands of a German soldier.
MP40
Some German soldiers carry MP40 submachine guns. Captured MP40s are seen in the hands of Soviet soldiers and Polish partisans.
MP40 (replica)
Many MP40s used in the series are airsoft guns, identified by unnaturally dull gray surface, atypical muzzles, and some other minor details.
M1928A1 Thompson
One of the US Army soldiers at the road block carries a Thompson M1928A1. This is very possibly a Denix M1928A1 Thompson replica that can be seen in several Russian war films and TV series (for some reason, the official Denix advertising video calls it an "M1", although the web catalog correctly identifies it as an M1928A1).
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon and M1891/30
Soviet soldiers and Polish partisans widely use Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles. Some rifles lack the hood on the front sight and may be M1891 Dragoons or pre-1935 version of M91/30.
Mosin Nagant Carbine
Several Soviet soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant carbines that don't match any production version and turn out to be full-length rifles with custom shortened barrels. Similar props were used in some Soviet movies about the Russian Civil war to imitate Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines; these screen guns are possibly of the same kind.
Karabiner 98k
Many German soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles. Soviet soldiers also use captured 98k rifles. Several screen guns have straight bolt handles while all other features match 98k; these are possibly results of post-war (or even modern) repair with replacing of the original 98k bolt with the one from a different Mauser model.
M1 Garand
One of the US Army soldiers at the road block carries an M1 Garand rifle. The wooden parts look somewhat unnatural; this gun is possibly a kind of replica, like the Denix M1 Garand that can be seen in several Russian war films and TV series.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-27
A Polish partisan is seen with a DP-27.
MG34
MG34 machine guns are used by German soldiers and Polish partisans.
