I took the liberty of removing the "incomplete" tag as the article is now 99% finished. I need to find a good pair of Russian Mosin-nagant rifle screenshots from the movie to put up which I'll do in a few days. By the way, are hand-grenades a requirement entry for an article? I've left it alone so far but I could probably add two entries.

Husqvarna M/1907
Just a trivia..That particular gun was very long-lasting. My father did his military service as a NCO in the early 70's and he carried one of them. Either the Swedish Army was cheap or the gun was effective enough to last that long :) Dudster32 10:40, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
- One of the benefits of being a neutral country I guess. Stuff doesn't wear out as quickly. --Funkychinaman 11:00, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
- About 90,000 were produced in Sweden. In 1940 M/1907 was officially replaced by Lahti L35 as a service pistol but in 1980s Lahti were withdrawn from service and M/07 brought back for a decade - the last appearance of this honored, though unappreciated pistol. Greg-Z 11:07, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
- True I guess :) Though the M1911 pistol was used in the US Army until the 80's I think :) Dudster32 11:18, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
- By the way, speaking of the M/07 being replaced in Sweden. That too would explain why Finland got a few M/07's. Sweden probably didnt sell Finland the latest stuff but kept that for herself in case of war which I understand. :) Dudster32 11:19, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
Tokarev TT-33 Pistol
After closer inspection (especially a scene I had forgotten about) I'm now sure the pistol that the actor is carrying actually a Tokarev TT-33 rather than my previously suggested FN Browning 1903 / Husqvarna. I saw a backside view of the gun and noticed there was a hammer and a large rear-sight, both of which aren't really a feature of the 1903. I was probably fooled by the fact that the 1903 and the Tokarev look almost identical at a distance. Dudster32 12:23, 10 August 2012 (CDT)
- Wow. I just noticed those two guns look insanely alike. Jeddostotle7 12:51, 10 August 2012 (CDT)
- Fooled me as well. Luckily I took an extra view of the Winter War DVD and caught the fact that the movie-gun had a hammer unlike the original gun. Dudster32 13:07, 11 August 2012 (CDT)
