Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (Alien: Resurrection). Jude Law stars in the film as Vassili 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 König, an expert sniper tasked to eliminate Zaitsev. The cast also includes Joseph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. 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:
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.
Mosin Nagant M38
This shorter carbine version of the Mosin Nagant M38 is seen carried by Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), when she first encounters Vasily Zaitsev.
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.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41 Submachine Gun
The PPSh-41 Submachine Gun was used by Russian NCOs and by NKVD blocking troops as well as standard Red Army soldiers during the battle of Stalingrad.
Machine Guns
Degtyarov DPM Machine Gun
At the Soviet HQ, Russian guards are seen using the Degtyarov DPM Machine Gun.
Maxim/Sokolov M1910-30 Machine Gun
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.
MP40
The MP40 is used by German soldiers, usually infantry NCOs or Armored troops.
MP41
The MP41 is used by one of the German soldiers firing into the fountain filled with dead Russians. A more expensive wooden stock version of the MP40.
Machine Guns
MG34
The MG34 is used by German infantry in fortified positions.
