Kotovsky is a Soviet 1942 biopic about the life of Grigory Ivanovich Kotovsky, an outlaw turned revolutionary and one of the prominent commanders of the Red Army during the Russian Civil war. The movie is directed by Aleksandr Faintsimmer.
The following weapons were used in the film Kotovsky:
Grigory Kotovsky (Nikolai Mordvinov) carries a pair of Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model revolvers when he leads a gang of outlaws in mid 1900s. An S&W No.3 Russian Model is also seen in hands of a Russian officer in the same scene.
Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in several scenes, used by Grigory Kotovsky (Nikolai Mordvinov) and his outlaws in mid 1900s, and by Red Army commanders and commissars, including Commissar Yefim Kharitonov (Vasili Vanin) and Kotovsky's second-in-command Kabanyuk (Nikolay Kryuchkov).
When Kotovsky, being a chief of outlaws in mid 1900s, makes a raid on Karakozen Sr.'s estate, Karakozen Jr. (Mikhail Astangov) fires a pistol that appears to be a member of vast family of Ruby Pistols. Same looking pocket pistol is seen in hands of a White Army officer (Mikhail Grodskiy) in the scene, set in Odessa in 1918.
When Russian cavalrymen pursue for Kotovsky and his outlaws, several of them are armed with Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines. These guns are slightly out of time as the scene is set in about 1905.
Imperial German soldiers are mostly armed with carbine-lengh Mauser rifles. They appear to be Polish Karabinek wz.29 rifles that often seen in Soviet movies, filmed by TsOKS in 1942-1944.
When Russian cavalrymen pursue for Kotovsky and his outlaws, some of them are armed with long guns that appear to be Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun ("Frolovka") shotguns.
