The following weapons were used in the film Ricochet (Rikoshet):
During the shootout on the construction yard Arseny captured "Psychologist" (Aristarkh Livanov), the adviser of the crime boss, and takes his pistol, a nickel plated M1911A1.
When the criminals abduct Arseny, one of them holds a Smith & Wesson-style pistol that appears to be a blank-firing or even non-firing replica, based on an early model Smith & Wesson 5904 with fixed sights

The gun differs from real S&W pistols and its foam-like surface allows to guess that it is made not of steel but rather of silumin alloy that is often used for cheap blank firing replicas. Note the design of the barrel bushing and the grips which indicate that this is based off of a 3rd generation S&W automatic pistol.
Rifles
TOZ-18
For the planned assassination Arseny is supplied with a TOZ-18, .22 caliber bolt action rifle with detachable magazine and sniper scope.
AKMS assault rifles are used by OMON (SWAT) troopers and some criminals in the final scene. They are mostly fitted with blank firing adapters instead of muzzle breaks.
