==Undefined automatic cannon==
Messerschmidt Bf.109 shoots from an automatic cannon at Polikarpov I-16 during air combat. This gun has a low rate of fire like as MK 103. But this weapon was appeared on Bf.109 only in 1944. Also Bf.109 has two cannons in the nose in this movie. I guess it is fictional version of the Messerschmidt Bf.109 fighter.

Machine Guns

PK Machine Gun (modified to resemble MG34)

A modified PK or PKM Stands in for an MG-34, because the filmmakers only had a single genuine MG-34. This mock up was also used in The Star (Zvezda)

MG34 Machine Gun

Some German soldiers carry real MG34 Machine Guns, though they are never shown being fired. This was probably due to a lack of sufficient 7.92x57 blanks or belts, as the weapon is never seen loaded. Some Soviet troops also use captured MG34s

PK Machine Gun

Replicas of the BA-20 armored car carry PK Machine Guns with the front sight removed as their main armament in the film, rather than the correct (and probably unavailable) DT.

Maxim M1910/30

The defenders of the Brest fortress used several Maxim machine guns in this movie. Some Maxim machine guns have the large filler cap on the top of the water jacket, which appeared at the end of 1941.

Undefined automatic cannon

Messerschmidt Bf.109 shoots from an automatic cannon at Polikarpov I-16 during air combat. This gun has a low rate of fire like as MK 103. But this weapon was appeared on Bf.109 only in 1944. Also Bf.109 has two cannons in the nose in this movie. I guess it is fictional version of the Messerschmidt Bf.109 fighter.
