[[Jude Law]] stars in the film as Vasily Zaitsev, an ordinary Russian soldier who became a legend for his feats as a sniper fighting during the Battle of Stalingrad. [[Ed Harris]] co-stars in the film as German intelligence officer ''Major'' Erwin König, an expert sniper tasked to eliminate Zaitsev. The cast also includes [[Joseph Fiennes]], [[Rachel Weisz]] and [[Bob Hoskins]]. The film is notable for being one of the few modern English-language films to depict the Eastern Front of the war.

The German command side believes and hopes, that the death of Zaitsev  would at least temporarily paralyzed the Red Army  fighting capacity at Stalingrad. Political  commissar Danilov ([[Joseph Fiennes]]) it literally "created" radiant prototype humble, simple, yet intrepid hero, able without hesitation to die for their country.

===Tokarev TT-33 Pistol===
===Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle===
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] pistol is used by Soviet officers and political officers (NKVD NCOs and officers).
Vasily Zaitsev ([[Jude Law]]) uses the sniper variant of the [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle]] with a PU scope when he is "promoted" to sniper. The sniper version of the M91/30 is also used by other Soviet snipers, most notably master sniper Koulikov ([[Ron Perlman]]), Tania Chernova ([[Rachel Weisz]]), and junior snipers Volodya (Ivan Shvedoff), Anton (Mario Bandi) and Ludmilla (Sophie Rois). The use of the PU scope is anachronistic, as the Mosin Nagant rifle with PU scope did not appear until 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad. Zaitsev actually carried a Mosin Nagant with an earlier PEM scope.

===Nagant M1895 Revolver===
===Mosin Nagant M91/30===
The [[Nagant M1895 Revolver]] is used by Red Army and NKVD political officers.
The [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin Nagant M91/30]] is used by nearly all Soviet infantry enlisted men in the film. Also used by Vasily Zaitsev ([[Jude Law]]) in the first battle he experiences in Stalingrad. At the beginning of the film, unarmed conscripts are paired up and given a single M91/30 per pair, and told to pick up their partner's rifle when he is shot. This single scene actually ended up leading to a number of rumors and myths that the Red Army only had half as many guns as soldiers, and sent men into combat unarmed. This, like much of the movie, is completely embellished and was added to emphasize the desperation present in the Soviets at the battle of Stalingrad.

Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Jude Law stars in the film as Vasily Zaitsev, an ordinary Russian soldier who became a legend for his feats as a sniper fighting during the Battle of Stalingrad. Ed Harris co-stars in the film as German intelligence officer Major Erwin König, an expert sniper tasked to eliminate Zaitsev. The cast also includes Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz and Bob Hoskins. The film is notable for being one of the few modern English-language films to depict the Eastern Front of the war.


The following weapons were used in the film Enemy at the Gates:

Soviet Army Weapons

Rifles/Carbines

Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle

Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) uses the sniper variant of the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle with a PU scope when he is "promoted" to sniper. The sniper version of the M91/30 is also used by other Soviet snipers, most notably master sniper Koulikov (Ron Perlman), Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), and junior snipers Volodya (Ivan Shvedoff), Anton (Mario Bandi) and Ludmilla (Sophie Rois). The use of the PU scope is anachronistic, as the Mosin Nagant rifle with PU scope did not appear until 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad. Zaitsev actually carried a Mosin Nagant with an earlier PEM scope.

The rifle, supposedly meant to be an M1891, is actually the M91/30 sniper variant, noted by the turned down bolt handle (standard M1891s and M91/30s have straight handles) as well as wooden grooves in the foregrip and the holes drilled through the receiver (as seen in the walls of the chamber) for the scope mount screws.

Mosin Nagant M91/30

The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is used by nearly all Soviet infantry enlisted men in the film. Also used by Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) in the first battle he experiences in Stalingrad. At the beginning of the film, unarmed conscripts are paired up and given a single M91/30 per pair, and told to pick up their partner's rifle when he is shot. This single scene actually ended up leading to a number of rumors and myths that the Red Army only had half as many guns as soldiers, and sent men into combat unarmed. This, like much of the movie, is completely embellished and was added to emphasize the desperation present in the Soviets at the battle of Stalingrad.

Probably a field expedient to a damaged rifle sling.
