The following weapons were used in the television series Topi:
In "Transfiguration" (S1E05), Liza, Sonya's sister (Marina Vasilyeva), takes a Roer Lighter 1808 from a shelf in the monastery and jokingly aims at her sister, after which she shows that it is just a lighter and puts it back.
Local district police officer Kozlov (Alexander Doronin) carries a service Makarov PM in a holster. It is first seen when he takes Maxim and Sonya out of the trapping pit in "Resurrection" (S1E03). In "Frenzy" (S1E04) holstered Makarov is seen again when Kozlov and Maxim decide to go talk to the convicts. Hallucinations created by the Owner (former allies of Burnt or Daoud's men) are armed with PM pistols during the shootout with Burnt in "Transfiguration" (S1E05). Due to a continuity error, Burnt's APS changes to Makarov PM as he runs through the village, firing back at the attackers. After driving Maxim and Sonya's car into a dead-end in "Redemption" (S1E07), Kozlov gets out of the police car, chambers his gun, and orders Maxim to get out at gunpoint. But by order of the Owner, he lowers it.
Elya's fiancé Daoud (Vadim Tsallati) carries a Stechkin APS in a holster during a fight with her boyfriend in "Introduction" (S1E01). Elya (Sofya Volodchinskaya) pulls out the gun and shoots him, after which runs away, taking the gun. At the end of the episode, Elya, awakened by the train conductor, takes out a gun from under the pillow. In "Resurrection" (S1E03), Elya threatens a former prisoner Renat Izmailov aka Chuchundra (Anton Makukha) whom she meets in the woods. Following the prisoner to his house, Elya meets another armed convict named Pyotr Kuskov aka Khor (Dmitry Glazachev). At the end of the episode, the girl loses her gun during an attack by a wild dog in an abandoned school. In "Frenzy" (S1E04), it is revealed that Elya's kidnapper is a veteran of the Chechen war nicknamed Burnt (Kirill Polukhin), he takes her gun and uses it in subsequent episodes. In "Transfiguration" (S1E05), Burnt uses the gun during a shootout with his phantom comrades-in-arms, who are actually a hallucination caused by the Owner. When the gunfight moves from the school to the street, the gun is mistakenly changed to Makarov PM.
The Owner (Maksim Sukhanov), with what appears to be an AK-74M in his hands, tracks down Burnt in "Transfiguration" (S1E05). However, later during the search for Elya (as in all other episodes), he only uses a shotgun, which means this could be a continuity error.
In "Resurrection" (S1E03), one of the criminals escaped from prison Pyotr Kuskov aka Khor (Dmitry Glazachev), takes out a Mosin Nagant Model 1944 Carbine without the bayonet from the house and aims at Elya, which turned out to be near their site. Khor grabs the rifle while lying on the bed and reading a book, in "Transfiguration" (S1E05) when Elya breaks into their hut, pursued by the Owner. At the beginning of "Gift" (S1E06), Khor takes out and loads a rifle when someone cuts down a tree near their house. Finding out that this is the Owner and puts the rifle on the ground and kneels. When the Owner wants to kill Elya (Sofya Volodchinskaya), she grabs the rifle but later lowers it due to hallucinations.
Hallucinations created by the Owner (former allies of Burnt or Daoud's men) are armed with unrecognizable long guns during the shootout with Burnt in "Transfiguration" (S1E05).
The Owner (Maksim Sukhanov) is armed with a stockless Baikal IZh-81 throughout the series. He hunts Burnt and Elya with a gun in "Transfiguration" (S1E05). Denis (Ivan Yankovskiy) fires Alyabyev's shotgun when Maxim and Sonya try to escape in "Redemption" (S1E07). During a small chase in the monastery, the Owner takes back his gun, but after the successful escape of Maxim and Sonya, he gives it back to Denis. While Alyabyev sorts things out with Maxim, Denis tries to shoot himself in his car. However, he changed his mind and the gun is seen in his hands for the remainder of the episode. Before leaving back to Topi, Denis gives the gun to Kozlov (Alexander Doronin).
During the shootout in "Transfiguration" (S1E05), a stunned Burnt (Kirill Polukhin), clearly unwilling to give up, takes a F-1 hand grenade out of his pocket and throws it into the corridor to the opponents.
