| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Front is a 2014 Russian war drama TV series. During the WW2 Soviet intelligence service retrieves information about Nazi Germany nuclear weapons program. The plans include an abduction of some person who is involved in the works of Auerge corporation. Agent Vladimir Volnov alias Vlad Volnyi (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk) meets Katarzyna Stuhr (Magdalena Górska), a Polish physicist who has to participate in the research but wants to escape to safety.
The following weapons were used in the television series Front:
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in several scenes, notably used by Vladimir Volnov alias Vlad Volnyi (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk) and Katarzyna Stuhr (Magdalena Górska). Probably two props are used throughout the series, and judging by the flashes from muzzles and cylinders, both revolvers are blank-firing versions. One of these guns can be identified as "Blef", while another revolver lacks any visual markings that allow to identify the exact version. This gun has a pre-1930 rounded front sight.
Pistols
TT-33
TT-33 pistols are used by Vlad Volnyi (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk), Capt. of State Security Vasiliy Litvin (Roman Ageev) and other State Security and Red Army officers, and German agents Yushka (Pavel Kharizanov) and Shut ("Jester") (Mitya Labush). All pistols that are seen close are of pre-1947 version.
Luger P08
Vlad Volnyi (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk), Soviet agent Trokhin (Yuriy Itskov), and one of the bandits use Luger P08 pistols.
Luger P08 (replica)
Replicas of Luger P08 are seen in several scenes. Some of them can be identified as non-firing Denix replica, while one pistol, reused in several scenes, seems to be a gas-firing pistol (such "gas Lugers" were produced under Mauser, Erma and other brands). Unlike live Lugers (see above), these replicas "fire" with CGI effects.
Walther P38
Several German officers carry Walther P38 pistols. P38s are also seen in hands of Yefreytor Olga Belyakova (Olga Kuzmina), and an unnamed bandit.
Walther PPK
Abwehr agent Anna Kruchinina (Yuliya Marchenko) carries a Walther PPK in the scene in Col. Khlopko's car.
Walther PPK (replica)
A Walther PPK, carried by Abwehr officer Oberst (Col.) von Meyers (Vadim Skvirskiy), turns out to be a Denix replica.
Browning Hi-Power
In one scene Vlad takes the uniform and handgun from a killed Abwehr Lt. (Igor Golovin). The pistol is a Browning Hi-Power that was adopted in Nazi Germany as Pistole 640(b), but the actual screen gun is a post-war model.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
Soviet officers and soldiers, notably Capt. Vasiliy Litvin (Roman Ageev) and Aleksey Mishin (Mitya Labush), and Polish partisans widely use PPSh-41 submachine guns, mostly with drum magazines except for the PPSh of the commander of the Polish partisans group Voznyak (Aleksandr Stroev).
PPS-43
PPS-43 submachine guns are used by a crewmember of a Soviet plane Burin (Vladimir Maslakov) and State Security and Militsiya personnel.
MP38
MP38 submachine guns are used by Vlad Volnyi (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk), Trokhin (Yuriy Itskov), one of his men (Sergey Sobolev), criminals Shchepa ("Splinter") (Artem Bordovsky) and Sych ("Owl") (Sergei Dyachkov), and some German soldiers. Probably two instances are used, one of the early version and another one of the late version that is sometimes referred as MP38/40.
MP40
Only a single real MP40 is seen throughout the series, reused in several scenes (other MP40s are Denix replicas, see below). This is an early "transitional" version with smooth magazine well.
MP40 (replica)
Most MP40s, used in the series, are non-firing Denix replicas. They are identified by silumin surface, visibly different from stamped blued steel of real guns, and by the shape and position of some details (one of the such features is the ejection port cover that looks recessed in comparison with real guns due to thicker silumin walls).
MP41
Two of the German soldiers are armed with MP41 SMGs during the shootout with Trokhin's men (possibly a single prop is reused).
Erma EMP
One of the German soldiers is armed with a Erma EMP SMG during the shootout with Trokhin's men. It is actually a Spanish-made copy of the EMP in 9x23mm Largo, standing in for a German-issue EMP.
Rifles and Assault Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44
In the scene in the hospital one of the German soldiers holds a Sturmgewehr 44 that doesn't fit for Summer 1943 when the plot is set.
Tokarev SVT-40
Two Polish partisans carry SVT-40 rifles.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Many Soviet soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles.
Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine
Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbines are also used by Soviet soldiers.
Karabiner 98k
In several scenes German soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
A full-length Mauser rifle, most likely a Mauser Gewehr 1898 with a conventional tangent-leaf sight (G98M), is briefly seen on the positions of a Soviet unit.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-27
Master ("Craftsman") (Igor Lepikhin), one of the agents of Kruchinina's group, uses a DP-27 during the attack on the car with Katarzyna and Vlad. A DP-27 is also used by Polish partisans.
MG34
MG34, mounted on motorcycles, are seen in several scenes.
ZB-26
A ZB-26 (or possibly ZB-30) light machine gun is used by German soldiers during the night attack on the landed Soviet plane.
Other Weapons
Leuchtpistole 42
A German soldier who finds parachutes of Vlad and Katarzyna in the forest, shoots a Leuchtpistole 42 flare pistol.
F-1 Hand Grenade
F-1 hand grenades are used by Vlad (Pavel Yuzhakov-Kharlanchuk), Capt. Litvin (Roman Ageev), Mishin (Mitya Labush), Col. Khlopko (Igor Chernevich), Voznyak (Aleksandr Stroev), Soviet scouts and Abwehr agents. Most if not all grenades turn out to be practice URG version.
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
Trokhin (Yuriy Itskov) and one his men (Boris Dragilyov) use Model 24 Stielhandgranate hand grenades.
Schrapnellmine
An anti-personnel mine is see when Katarzyna wades to the front line. It is a German S-Mine with tripwire-activated fuse.
