Variant "Zombie" (Original title: Вариант "Зомби") is a 1985 Soviet spy movie. A powerful fascist-type organization is conducting experiments on the inhabitants of an African country to create parapsychological weapons for mind control. But the method of memory restoration and treatment of mental neuroses, developed by the Soviet professor Lesnikov, is becoming a serious threat to the group.
The movie was probably the first film of this kind in the (ex-) USSR, and for a long time almost the only one due to the lack of particular popularity of such a topic. However, as one might expect, the movie itself was mostly about tradecraft, and zombie themes in it are superficial.
The following weapons were used in the film Variant "Zombie":
Assault Rifles
StG-44 (Mocked-Up as M16)
The organization's soldiers use StG-44s mocked-up to look like M16 assault rifles.
M16
One of the soldiers uses an actual M16 in pseudo-documentary frames.
Cristobal Model 2
One of the soldiers (possibly of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces) is armed with a Cristobal Model 2 in pseudo-documentary frames.
Mauser Rifle
Soldiers are armed with unknown Mauser rifles in pseudo-documentary frames.
AKM
One of the artillerymen (possibly of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces) is seen with AKM in pseudo-documentary frames.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun"
One of the soldiers is seen with what appears to be a Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun" in pseudo-documentary frames.
Other
Panhard EBR
The organization's forces use a Panhard EBR Mle 51 armored vehicle in pseudo-documentary footage. This French armored car is armed with a 75mm SA49 main gun and three MAC 31E Reibel machine guns.
