The Red Ghost (Krasnyy prizrak) is a 2021 Russian war thriller directed by Andrey Bogatyrev. In December 1941 a small group of Soviet soldiers tries to break from the German encirclement. They are engaged in a hopeless battle with the enemy, but a mysterious person called "The Red Ghost" comes to help them.


The following weapons were used in the film The Red Ghost (Krasnyy prizrak):


Handguns

Nagant M1895

One of the weapons of The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov) is a Nagant M1895. Nagants are also used by Politruk (Vyacheslav Shikhaleev), Moryachok (Pavel Abramenkov) and a villager Kostya (Konstantin Simonov). In the final scene Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny) takes the revolver of killed Moryachok.

Walther P38

Walther P38 are widely used by German officers and soldiers, seen in hands of Hauptsturmführer Braun (Wolfgang Cerny), Hauptmann (Capt.) Klein (Paul Orlyanskiy), soldier Günther (Mikhail Melin) and others. The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov) and Prostachyok (Yuriy Borisov) use captured P38s in various scenes. Only a single pistol is seen in a time, so possibly a single prop is reused throughout the film.

Vz. 24 Czech Mauser

Many German soldiers, including Adler (German Segal), August (Ilya Kiporenko), Günther (Mikhail Melin), Bruno (Andrey Kurganov) and Wolf (Nikolay Orlovskiy), are armed with vz. 24 Czech Mauser rifles (Wehrmacht designation Gewehr 24(t)). Captured rifles are seen in hands of The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov), Moryachok (Pavel Abramenkov), Prostachyok (Yuriy Borisov) and Kostya (Konstantin Simonov). The rifles lack grasping grooves on the stocks that is probably a result of post-war (or even modern) rework (for example, Yugoslav vz.23/24 rifles underwent such rework with using elements of Kar 98k stocks). Some rifles have hooded front sight that was issued to the late production series of Vz. 24.
