El diputado ("The Deputy"; released in USA under the original Spanish title; alternative English title is Confessions of a Congressman) is a 1978 Spanish drama movie directed by Eloy de la Iglesia. In post-Francoist Spain, a left wing politician Roberto Orbea (José Sacristán) is elected as the Deputy of the Cortes Generales (Parliament). But the ultra right organisation, headed by Carrés (Agustin Gonzales), uncovers Orbrea's most intimate secrets that may ruin his career.
The following weapons were used in the film El diputado:
Carrés (Agustín González), the leader of the ultra right organisation, holds an Astra 400 pistol on the shooting range.
TT-33
In several scenes Carrés (Agustín González) holds a TT-33. TT pistols (possibly the same prop reused) are also seen in hands of a police officer and a shooter on the range. TTs were supplied to the Spanish Republic from the USSR during the Spanish Civil War, and a number of these pistols could still be in use in 1970s, although hardly as an officially adopted police sidearms.
Unidentified pistol
A pistol is seen in the shoulder holster of a police detective (Juan Jesús Valverde).
Submachine Guns
Star Z-45
Spanish Guardia Civil personnel and the militants of Carrés' organisation are armed with Star Z-45 submachine guns.
During the street unrest, a pair of police officers hold M43 Spanish Mauser rifles with grenade launchers for tear gas grenades. The model of the grenades is unknown but they are most likely used with standard 22mm adapters.
Trivia
During the opening credits, fragments of paintings by various Soviet artists appear at the background. More or less faithful depictions of Mosin Nagant Rifles are seen on several paintings on revolutionary thematics.
