The Brest Fortress (Russian: Brestskaya Krepost / Брестская крепость) is a 2010 Russian-Belarusian World War II drama film directed by Aleksandr Kott. The film tells about the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress, which had taken upon the first strike of Nazi troops on June 22, 1941. The Brest Fortress has become one of the great symbols of the Soviet resistance in World War 2.
The following weapons are featured in the film Brest Fortress (Brestskaya Krepost), The:
Handguns
Luger P08
Luger P08 is carried by German troops. Some Soviet characters also use this weapon.
Tokarev TT-33
Tokarev TT-33 is used by Soviet officers.
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 is used by Soviet officers.
Submachine Guns
MP38

Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is the mainstay weapon of the German soldiers. Some Soviet troops also use their captured Karabiner 98k rifles.
Tokarev SVT-40
A Soviet sniper is seen using the scoped Tokarev SVT-40 Rifle.
Machine Guns
PK Machine Gun (modified to resemble MG34)
A modified PK or PKM stands in for an MG-34, because the filmmakers only had a single genuine MG-34. This mock up was also used in The Star (Zvezda).
MG34 Machine Gun
Some German soldiers carry real MG34 Machine Guns, though they are never shown being fired. This was probably due to a lack of sufficient 7.92x57mm blanks or belts, as the weapon is never seen loaded. Some Soviet troops also use their captured MG34s.
PK Machine Gun
Replica of the BA-20 armored car carry PK Machine Gun with the front sight removed as their main armament in the film, rather than the correct (and probably unavailable) DT.

Messerschmidt Bf.109 shoots from an automatic cannon at Polikarpov I-16 during air combat. This gun has a low rate of fire like as MK 103. But this weapon was appeared on Bf.109 only in 1944. Also Bf.109 has two cannons in the nose in this movie. I guess it is fictional version of the Messerschmidt Bf.109 fighter.
