| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I Serve at the Border (Ya sluzhu na granitse) is a Soviet B&W 1974 (filmed 1973) movie directed by Naum Birman. The movie depicts the everyday life of Soviet Border Guard outpost. Pvt. Dmitriy Sedykh (Boris Shcherbakov) has problems during his service but at last he overcomes his drawbacks and perfectly shows himself in a dangerous situation during the capture of a trespasser.
The following weapons were used in the film I Serve at the Border (Ya sluzhu na granitse):
Pistols
Makarov PM
Officers and NCOs of Soviet Border Guard carry Makarov PM pistols.
Assault Rifles
AKM
Soviet Border Guards are mainly armed with AKMs. Many have slant muzzle compensators removed, but the narrow front sights, gas tubes without vents and stamped receivers allow to identify them as AKMs rather than AK-47s. Versions with and without compenstators often switch to each other in same scenes due to continuity errors.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
