Mirage is a Russian 2008 action movie directed by Tigran Keosayan. A business lady Lera Chernyshova (Alyona Khmelnitskaya) becomes a witness of a murder, commited by a high-rank politician (Viktor Verzhbitskiy). Being afraid for her life, she runs to some Middle East country. But there Lera together with two more Russian girls, Tanya (Natalya Naumova) and Ulyana (Antonina Komissarova), is kidnapped by local nomads who are engaged in slave, weapons and drug trade. The three girls manage to escape and hide in ruins in desert where they meet two Russian tourists, Misha (Aleksey Chadov) and Zhenya (Aleksey Bardukov), who got lost in desert. Meanwhile the politician hires a bounty hunter known as "The Catcher" (Dmitriy Maryanov) in order to find Lera and bring her home.
The following weapons were used in the film Mirage:
Handguns
Walther P99
Jamal (Rustam Urazaev), the leader of nomads, carries a two-tone pistol that appears to be a Walther P99. As in most modern Russian movies, it is most likely a blank firing or airsoft replica.
Brixia Arms Model 92 Army
The Catcher (Dmitriy Maryanov) carries a pistol in holster. He never draws his gun so only a grip can be seen. The shape of the grip resembles Beretta 92FS but the logo on the grip allows to identify the pistol as Brixia Arms Model 92 Army, the blank firing replica, manufactured by Brixia Arms.
Unidentified pistol
In Lera's flashback the politician (Viktor Verzhbitskiy) holds an unknown suppressed pistol.
Submachine Guns
Uzi
In the final scene Jamal (Rustam Urazaev) holds an Uzi but doesn't use it in action.
Heckler & Koch UMP45 (airsoft)
What appears to be a Heckler & Koch UMP45 (supposedly an airsoft replica) is seen in hands of a nomad during the climactic battle.
Thompson M1A1
A Thompson M1A1 is seen in hands of a nomad.
Assault Rifles
AKS-74
AKS-74 assault rifles (mostly with synthetic furniture but some with wooden) are used or at least hold by all of the main characters. Numerous nomads also carry AKS-74s.
AK-74M
Several nomads are armed with AK-74M assault rifles.
AK-105
AK-105s are also seen in hands of nomads.
Machine Guns
PKM
A PKM machine gun is seen in weapons cache. It is used at first by Akhmed (Aleksey Dmitriev), Jamal's second-in-command. The Catcher (Dmitriy Maryanov) fires PKM during the climactic battle. In the final scene PKMs are also fired from police helicopters.
Other Weapons
F-1 Hand Grenade
The Catcher finds a lot of F-1 hand grenades in weapon cache. He uses most of them as booby traps and also throws one grenade during the battle. One nomade uses an F-1 during the climactic battle.
RPG-26
An RPG-26 is used by a nomad in the climactic battle.
