Shchors (sometimes released as Shors) is a Soviet 1939 B&W historical movie directed by Aleksandr Dovzhenko and Yuliya Solntseva and depicting the person of Nikolay Alexandrovitch Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov), one of the prominent Red Army commanders during the Russian civil war. The story show the events ofn 1918-1919 on Ukraine when Red troops under the command of Shchors and his comrade-in-arms Vasily Bozhenko (Ivan Skuratov) fought against Ukrainian Hetmanate, supported by Imperial German army, and then against Directorate of Ukraine and Polish troops.
The following weapons were used in the film Shchors:
Many German and Ukrainian officers carry FN Model 1900 pistols. Nikolay Shchors (Evgeniy Samoylov) is seen with a holster for FN Model 1900 on his belt but it looks rather empty.
Vasily Bozhenko (Ivan Skuratov), his orderly and bodyguard Savka Troyan (Aleksandr Khvylya) and some other Red commanders carry Mauser C96 pistols in signature wooden holsters.
Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are widely used by soldiers of all armies. Usage of these rifles by German troops isn't completely incorrect as they captured numerous Mosin Nagant rifles during the decay of Russian Imperial army in 1917.
One or two Red soldiers carry Mosin Nagant short rifles that appear to be custom shortened Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon rifles. The result resembles M38 Carbine that went into production only in 1939.
Some full-length Mauser rifles have tangent rear sights and turned down bolt handles. They appear to be Karabiner 98b rifles, a version of Gewehr 1898 introduced in 1923 to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which only allowed Germany to produce carbines.
Red troops widely use Lewis Guns. These are Savage Arms Company produced machine guns, identified by the Light Ground Mount three-leg support (unlike the bipod of British Lewis), probably Russian contract version in 7.62x54R caliber (9,600 such Lewis-Savage machine guns were supplied to Russia in 1917).
