The Jaguar (Yaguar) is a 1987 (filmed 1986) Soviet drama film directed by Sebastián Alarcón and based on the novel The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros) by Mario Vargas Llosa. The plot shows the life of a cadet of Chilean military school, nicknamed Jaguar (Sergey Veksler), and how are his views changing from a defender of the Pinochet regime to its determined opponent.
The following weapons were used in the film The Jaguar (Yaguar):
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1928A1
Thompson M1928A1 submachine guns are used by the military school cadets in several scenes.
Rifles and Assault Rifles
Enfield Pattern 14
Some cadets carry Enfield Pattern 14 rifles. They are mostly seen blurry.
Assault Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44 (visually modified as AR-10/AR-15)
Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles, visually modified to resemble AR-10 or early versions of AR-15, are widely used by the cadets, notably Jaguar (Sergey Veksler), Fernandes (Artyom Kaminsky) and Arana (Adel Al-Khadad). Totally about ten such guns can be seen simultaneously, probably all the Mosfilm armory. There are two slightly different versions, with the dark furniture and with more bright wooden furniture. The real weapon of the Chilean military at that time was a SIG SG 510-4.
Sturmgewehr 44 (visually modified as tear gas grenade launcher)
A single ArmaLite-like Sturmgewehr 44 is fitted with a large tube worn around the barrel. Seen in hands of a police officer, it represents a tear gas grenade launcher.
Trivia
Holsters
Lt. Gamboa (Sergey Gazarov), Sgt. Pessoa (Islam Kaziyev) and other officers and NCOs carry revolver holsters that are definitly empty (in some cases, they are even bended).
Toy Pistol
When resting, one of the Jaguar's fellow cadets shoots a toy pistol with suction cups.
Military Training Posters
A number of military training posters is seen in the classes. These are Soviet posters, depicting both Soviet and NATO military equipment.
