'''''Enemy at the Gates''''' is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. [[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. | '''''Enemy at the Gates''''' is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud.

Vasily Zaitsev ([[Jude Law]]) uses the sniper variant of the [[Mosin Nagant|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. | |||

Revision as of 23:09, 20 December 2014
Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. 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:
Soviet Army Weapons

Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle
Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) uses the sniper variant of the 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.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
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.
