Well in the 1950s the US had 15 kt atomic artillery grenades. In the 1970s the russian should have had something like 20 kt atomic grenades in that size. I also remember to have seen a similar type of atomic grenade as in the movie. Don't know if it's a 20kt or even if it's an accurate mock-up. --unpaid lamer | Well in the 1950s the US had 15 kt atomic artillery grenades.

I was watching the movie on YouTube today (haven't finished it though), and noticed that the unidentified gun the guards use is almost definitely not a rifle. It fires in full auto and has a dangling ammo belt on the side. Maybe they used the MG34 or another machine gun for that scene. --[[User:Dan San|Dan San]] ([[User talk:Dan San|talk]]) 23:42, 7 August 2020 (EDT) | |||

Trivia
Nuclear bomb
It is not a firearm per se, but is included here for completeness. Professor (Nikolai Grinko) carries a 20kt nuclear bomb to destroy an artifact in the "The Zone"
Discussion
(resolved) Writer's pistol: doesn't seem to be a standard 1911 or TT-33
I wonder what has been used as Writer's pistol in the movie. The shape is similar to Colt 1911 and Tokarev T-33, but the following features do not match:
a takedown lever just above the front of the trigger guard, on the left side. It is not featured on 1911, TT-33 or other pistols that I can think of (or see photos of). This might have been added to a real pistol for movie purposes though.On watching film a few more times this is just a splash of water in that place.- spur at the bottom plate of the mag. Neither 1911 or TT-33 feature such magazine plates as far as I could find.
- grip spur under hammer. TT-33 does not have such a feature, 1911 does. Even if TT-33 slide has somehow been pushed to the front, shape of "spur" is wrong for TT-33.
- there is no mag release button behind trigger. 1911 and TT-33 do have one.
- hammer is seen at the back of the slide, similar to 1911. Tokarev had a hammer seen on top of the slide, behind rear sight.
- serrations at the back of the slide look like 1911 or post-war TT-33. Earlier TT-33 had a wider spacing of the serrations.

- It looks to me like the slide is forward, like it's about to be disassembled. The take down lever in front of the slide lock is what I don't get. There are a few other guns that have the 1911, TT-33 style. Like below but it's not it either.--Predator20 23:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's not a Tokarev at all, it's a Hungarian Femaru 37M. Standard issue for the Hungarian army in WW2, it's a relatively heavy unlocked-breech blowback 9mm Short, actually has nothing in common with the Tokarev. Nyles
- Great find! :-) Surprisingly I did not have this pistol in any of my (few I admit) books.--Tiksom 07:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Great WORK! so far Tiksom
Now this is the type of Page I appreciate. For one, I am compelled to want to see this movie! Beautiful work so far! MoviePropMaster2008 00:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Now you can see what the page was going to be originally :-)--Tiksom 07:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
MG34?
In one scene, there are some abandoned (WWII?) tanks standing around. As far as I remember, there appears a MG34 (though only the barrel is visible) in one scene. Can someone confirm that? --83.78.67.34 14:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
- There is a such scene with several tanks around 50m00s mark. Except for tank barrels I could not make out any further details due to lack of resolution :-(--Tiksom 11:36, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Bomb
A 20 kiloton atomic hand grenade. Really? --unknown
