Talk:Enemy at the Gates

• There is a misspelling on this page: One of the captions has "Vassili Vaitsev" instead of "Vassili Zaitsev". (Just search for 'Vaitsev' - I don't remember which picture)

No, Vaitsev is correct. It's his cousin.

Other Mosin Variants?

I was watching the movie again recently and I noticed that there might be several more Mosin variants found within the movie.

The first being the rifle that young Zaitsev uses while hunting wovles with his grandfather. It looks to be a Model 1891 by the simple front post sight but could also be a sporter as there are screws on the side of the gun for a scope, has a curved bolt handle, and having some form of checkering on the grip.

The second is the rifle that Volodya uses. There are numerous glimpses throughout the film that shows what appears to be Finnish style front sights on his rifle. It could be a Finnish rifle that the Soviets captured during the Winter or Continuation war then re-distributed to it's troops. Although the exact model remains unknown. It could be an M27, M28, M28/30, or M39.

The last is the rifle carried by Tanya when she first meets Danilov and Zaitsev. From the few second the viewer gets a look the rifle, it looks to be a Polish Wz.1891/98/25 carbine. The Wz.1891/98/25 externally looks like a Model 1891 carbine with the only differences being that it has a a Mauser style front barrel band and being chambered for 7.92x57mm.

If anyone can be able to take some screenshots and possibly confirm any of these that will be great as I have no way of taking screenshots. Thanks.
