Nail in the Boot (Russian title Gvozd v sapoge, Georgian title Lursmani cheqmashi) is a Soviet Georgian 1932 B&W silent movie directed by Mikhail Kalatozov. Red Army armoured train is attacked by enemy planes and blocked on damaged railway. The commander of the train sends a soldier to deliver an urgent message. But soldier's foot is severely damaged due to a protruding nail in his boot, and he is late. Before the reinforcement comes, the armoured train is lost in battle with superior enemy troops. The soldier is court-martialed, and he explains that his failure was due to flaws of workers of shoemaking factory. The crew of the armoured train partially consisted of mobilised workers of that factory, so they prepared their death by their own bad work.
The following weapons were used in the film Nail in the Boot (Gvozd v sapoge):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are carried by the commander of the armoured train (Arkadi Khintibidze) and the soldier (Siko Palavandishvili), sent with the message. They are seen only in holsters.
Mosin Nagant Rifles are used by both Red Army and enemy soldiers. They are most likely M91s but the low quality of old film doesn't allow to make strict identification.
A genuine armoured train, a part of 7th Independent Unit of Armoured Trains, appears in the movie. It is a Sormovo-type light armoured train, consisting of two artillery wagons, each armed with two turrets with 76.2mm M1902 guns and numerous Maxim machine guns.
