no hammer, receiver looks different and barrels look slightly different. mpm

OK, I'll change it to "Unidentified rifle". It is something very Winchester-like... If not Winchester then I don't know what it is :( Greg-Z 04:36, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

Maybe... But this flexible belt look very much like PK's. Hotchkiss used rigid strips, not belts. Could it be PK modified to resemble Hotchkiss LMG? I doult that sovier film factory could have such a rare weapon as Hotchkiss Mle22 or Mle25. Greg-Z 04:36, 27 October 2011 (CDT)
Hotchkiss has a large receiver. Soviet filmmakers can connect any belt in it. Also this machine gun never shown been fired in this movie. Bednardos - 27 October 2011
