The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is used by nearly all Soviet infantry enlisted men in the film. Also used by Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) at the first battle he experiences in Stalingrad.
This shorter carbine version of the Mosin Nagant M38 is seen carried by Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), when she first encounters Vasily Zaitsev.

Note that she does not use the leather 'rings' of the traditional Mosin Nagant Sling, instead she sticks one end through the buttstock sling opening (like a K98 Rifle). Probably a field expedient to a damaged rifle sling.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTania Chernova (Rachel Weisz) setting her Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine against the wall next to Vasilis' Sniper Rifle - 7.62x54R
Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle
Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) uses a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifle with a PU scope when he is "promoted" to sniper. The Sniper version of the M91/30 is used by the other Soviet snipers, most notably master sniper Koulikov (Ron Perlman), Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), and junior snipers Volodya (Ivan Shvedoff) 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 Maxim MG08 Machine Gun was adopted and used by the Russians. Their own version was designated the M1910-30 Machine Gun and chambered for the 7.62x54R Cartridge. Other M1910-30 Machine Guns can be seen in various fortified positions and on the troop transport train.

The precursor to the MP40, finely machined and more difficult to manufacture, the MP38 was phased out in favor of the stamped sheet metal MP40. The MP38 can be seen by various German soldiers, usually older NCOs.
