The Sword (Russian Title: "Mech/Меч") is a 2009 Russian action TV-series, probably inspired by the Rogue Force. Directed by Ilya Kulikov and Rustam Urazaev, the show is about a vigilante group created and led by a retired police major Maxim Kalinin (played by Eduard Flerov) nicknamed "Cap" for his service in VDV reckon during Second Chechen War when he was ranked captain.

The following weapons were used in the television series The Sword:



Handguns

Beretta 92FS

Kidnapper Valery Girko (Sergei Fischer) used Beretta 92FS at the very beginning of the first episode. It is the first firearm shown in the series.

Makarov PM

The only handgun widely used in series is Makarov PM. Originally, Maxim Kalinin (Eduard Flerov) had one PM (with silencer), along with Saiga-410K-01 and RPG-26. After taking out the drug dealers at waste ground, Max and Kostyan robbed an apartment of Kalinin's former superior, colonel Muratov. When Muratov unexpectedly returned and was knocked out by Orlov, his Makarov was taken by the two and lated used by Anton Karev (Timur Efremenkov) to execute a corrupted police officer. Shortly before, Max gave a task to Kostyan to go to Vladikavkaz where a large black firearms market exists, and to buy there 3 more suppressed Makarovs along with other weapons (which he successfully fulfilled). 4 more Makarovs were commandeered by Anton from the dead drug dealers after cottage shootout, increasing the total number of Makarovs "Sword" had from three to seven.

Makarov PMM

PMM was used by robber Timur (Viktor Mishakov) during jewellery shop hold-up. It could be identified as PMM only by a wider grip which is seen when Timur puts a pistol to the neck of a shop owner who attempted to press the alarm button. Olga Stepnenko (Viktoria Fischer) also had PMM kept in locker at her kitchen at the end of the series.

Nagant revolver

Russian Nagant M1895 is a personal sidearm of drug dealer nicknamed "Buratino" (Dmitry Sharakois). The same gun was used by drug lord, colonel Komin (Vladimir Yakovlev), in a failed suicide attempt.

Rifles

AKS-74U

AKS-74U Krinkov carbines are used by "Sword", police and "Hydra" militants. Criminal ringleader Shamil Dadashev and robber Mikhail Balashov briefly used the AKS-74U as well. Kostyan (Roman Kurtzyn) was ordered to buy two AKS-74U on his trip to Vladikavkaz, but was given three of them probably as a compensation instead of PP-19 Bizons, which were unavailable. For some reason, the team never used more than two AKS-74U in their raids until 18th episode.

AKS-74

AKS-74 were used by numerous characters; MVD Spetsnaz, OMON, FSB Alpha Group, some "Hydra" militants, Russian paratroopers and Chechen terrorists from Kalinin and Savkin's flashbacks, Kovalchuk ("black realtors" gang member) and one of the detectives from Egorov's investigation team during store gunfight all used AKS-74. 2 AKS-74 were commandeered from the killed "Hydra" militants by "Sword" after forest shootout. One of these AKS-74 was carried by Orlov during raid on TV center, and both of them were later used by Karev and Orlov during team's escape through the police cordon.

AK-74M

AK-74M is a standard weapon for Russian army. It was used by some of "Hydra" militants, MVD Spetznaz and OMON. Some of VDV paratroopers and Chechen terrorists in Kalinin's flashback were also seen carrying the AK-74M. One of the detectives from Egorov's team used AK-74M during the storehouse shootout.

AKM

AKMs are used by "Hydra" militants, most notably by the one who wounded Savkin (Alexander Barinov) and to whom Kalinin spoke a memorable speech later. Orlov trained Olga how to shoot with it. In Kalinin's flashback about his times in VDV and Chechen war, he was seen with AKM, which is quite a strange choose for VDV troop who would rather use AKS-74 or AK-74M. AKM was used by Max in rescuing Savkin's daughter from "Hydra" office. Then again, the AKM appeared in his hands most likely due to a continuity error since he was clearly seen carrying an AKS-74U while entering the building. Later the AKM was carried by Dmitry Chizhov (Vlad Pavlov) nicknamed "Chizh" ("Siskin") during escape from the storehouse and he shot dead a detective in process with it.

AKMS

AKMS was carried by commander of "Ruby" rapid response team of "Hydra" private security company. Some of OMON troops in the last episode also carried these rifles. One more AKMS has been used by Dmitry Chizhov in the last episode during bloody gunfight. It is one of the most serious continuity errors since all of "Sword" operators were armed with AKS-74U at the beginning of the raid on Muratov's apartment (and even during the most part of chase scene).

AK-104

A very strange rifle - looking like wood stocked AK-104, fitted with metal AKS-74 style folding stock was carried by one of the convoy policemen who escorted two renegade police officers later executed by "Sword". The gun may be either a civilian grade Saiga MK short pattern rifle (semi-auto only) or a non-firing replica.

Shotguns

Saiga-410K-01

Saiga-410K-01 with a wooden pistol grip and 10-round magazine was illegally kept by Kalinin, and was used by Konstantin Orlov to blow up a drug dealers' car and kill a dealer. It is probably the first appearance of this gun on TV show.

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns

A pair of double barreled shotguns (presumably TOZ-63) were used by renegade police officers Bystryakov and Ryabov to murder those with expensive cars.

Submachine Guns

Kedr PP-91

2 Kedr PP-91s were sold to Orlov by an illegal arms dealer in Vladikavkaz instead of PP-19 "Bison"s. They were provided with custom suppressors. "Sword" used them only once, in the raid on pedophiles' cottage. Drug dealer Samir also used PP-91 in the cottage gunfight with Karev.

Sniper Rifles

Dragunov SVDS

Konstantin Orlov (Roman Kurtzyn) carries a Dragunov SVDS, often fitted with a suppressor. It is not the usual SVD Dragunov, but the SVDS version developed for VDV paratroopers.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (Airsoft Replica)

What appears to be an airsoft replica of the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare was used by an assassin. It can be identified as an airsoft replica by the straight barrel profile, lack of cut-out over the magazine well and the plain silver "ejection port".

Accuracy International L96A1 AWSM

Alpha Group snipers used Accuracy International Arctic Warfare AWSM in the last shootout and chase scene. It makes sense since L96A1 (chambered .338 Lapua Magnum) is a standard weapon issued for Alpha Group.
