The following weapons were used in the film And Quiet Flows the Don (Tikhiy Don):
Most Cossacks carry Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines. In reality the service rifle of Cossack troops was M1891 Cossack rifle (a version of better known M1891 Dragoon rifle), but M1907 carbines were also used.
During the scenes of 1916 battles many German soldiers are armed with Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles. Gewehr 98s are also seen in hands of some Russian soldiers. In the scene of the evacuation of White Army and French troops in 1920 some French soldiers carry Gewehr 98 rifles.
In the scene of the evacuation of White Army and French troops in 1920 some French soldiers carry rifles that appear to be early model of Lee-Enfield, most likely Mk.I (correct rifles for French infantry of that time would be Lebel 1886 or Berthier Rifles).
Austro-Hungarian soldiers in 1914 and German soldiers in 1916 use Hotchkiss M1914 machine guns, instead of correct Maxim MG08s and Schwarzlose M07/12s. A Hotchkiss is also briefly seen in one scene of Russian civil war.
