BA-27
The White Army troops use BA-27 armored car in the final battle. It is an anachronism. The BA-27 was manufactured from 1928, after the Russian Civil War. Instead of real armament (it constists of 37-mm Hotchkiss gun and Degtyaryov DT machine gun) the movie armored car got two Maxim M1910s.
76.2mm divisional gun M1902
At the end of the movie White Army troops used 76.2mm divisional gun to to destroy the house, which was defended by Chapaev.
152mm howitzer M1910
The Red Army troops used the 6-inch (152mm) howitzers during a counter-attack.
