The Tunnel (Romanian title Tunelul, Russian title Tunnel) is a Romanian-Soviet 1966 B&W war movie, directed by Francisc Munteanu. In Autumn 1944, soon after Romania turned against Nazi Germany, a joint Soviet-Romanian commando group is sent across enemy lines with a mission to prevent the destroying of strategic mountain tunnel by German troops.
The following weapons were used in the film The Tunnel (Tunelul):
Pistols
Tokarev TT-33
TT-33 pistols are used by the commander of the group Lt. Aleksei Denisov (Aleksei Loktev) and deminer experts Sergei (Viktor Filippov) and Grigoriy (Lev Prygunov). In the climactic scene Petrescu's (Ion Dichiseanu) Walther P38 switches to a TT.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is Hauptmann (Capt.) Otto von Keller's (Emmerich Schäffer) service sidearm. Lt. Aleksei Denisov (Aleksei Loktev) holds a Luger in one scene instead of his TT-33.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 is a personal sidearm of Romanian Sublocotenent (2nd Lt.) Mihai Petrescu (Ion Dichiseanu). In the climactic scene the Walther switches to TT-33.
M1911A1
While crossing the frontline and in the first scene in safe house Sublocotenent Mihai Petrescu (Ion Dichiseanu) carries a different pistol that seems to be an M1911A1 or some similar looking gun.
Unidentified pistol
Radio Operator Sgt. Natasha (Valentina Malyavina) carries an unidentified pistol. It appears to be smaller than a TT. The shape and size are similar to Korovin TK but it's unproved guess.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
PPSh-41 SMGs are widely used by Soviet soldiers, notably by members of commando group Grigoriy (Lev Prygunov), who has a PPSh with stick magazine, and Sergei (Viktor Filippov).
PPS-43
In the opening scene Molchanov (Leonid Zverintsev) has a PPS-43. During the shootout in the tunnel Grigoriy's (Lev Prygunov) PPSh-41 and Dutu's (Florin Piersic) MP40 switch to PPS-43s and then back.
MP40
An MP40 is used by Romanian Sgt. Dutu (Florin Piersic). Most German soldiers are armed with MP40s.
Rifles
Vz.24 Czech Mauser
Romanian and German soldiers use Vz.24 Czech Mauser rifles.
Karabiner 98k
German soldiers also carry Karabiner 98k rifles.
Machine Guns
Goryunov SGM
In the final scene a group of Soviet and Romanian soldiers, lead by Capt. Dronov (Gennadiy Yukhtin), break through the tunnel on a railbus. A machine gun on tripod is mounted in the railbus. It appears to be a post-war Goryunov SGM (the tripod mount for SGM was issued only in 1949).
ZB-30
In the same scene a light machine gun on bipod is seen on the rooftop of the railbus. It seems to have a top-mounted magazine, so a Romanian issued ZB-30 would be a good guess. It's hard to say if the magazine is straight or curved; in latter case the machine gun could be a Bulgarian issued ZB-39 (Bren is uncommon for Eastern Europian cinema).
Degtyaryov DT
A Degtyaryov DT machine gun is mounted on T-34 tank.
Other Weapons
Hand Grenade
In the climactic scene Molchanov (Leonid Zverintsev), disguised as a Romanian railroad worker, tries to use a bundle of hand grenades to explode the rails. The grenades are of "pineapple" type but the model is uclear: they looks different from Soviet F-1, its Romanian post-war version, French F1 and other similar grenades.
Trivia
Holsters
Armour
Artillery
A Romanian artillery unit is armed with Soviet ZiS-3 field guns.
