Sisters (Syostry)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sisters (Syostry) is a 2001 Russian cult crime film directed by Sergei Bodrov (his only directorial work). It centers on a girl named Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) who's trying not to struggle with her half-sister Dina (Katya Gorina), who is a daughter of a gangster (Roman Ageev). When gangsters, trying to reach Dina's father by abducting girls, they flee and Sveta who is a sports shooter (she wants to be a sniper in Checnya, no less) makes use of her firearm and social skills to cover their tracks and survive.
The following weapons were used in the film Sisters (Syostry):
IZH-38 Air Gun
On the shooting range Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) uses IZh-38 with and without a scope. IZh-38 is a rather standard training air rifle, which is used not only as sporting but also in basic military training all around the USSR and Post-Soviet territories. Criminals led by Jeep wrangler also can be seen firing them on the shooting range. Jeep wrangler himself (director Sergei Bodrov in cameo) can be seen with IZh-38 on one of the Russian posters of the movie.
Bolt Action .22 Rifle
Small caliber bolt action rifles are used by Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) and other girls at a shooting competition. It's hard to identify the actual model but the general shape bears resemblance with TOZ rifles, such as old TOZ-12 or more modern TOZ-78.
AKMS
AKMS can be seen in the hands of many gangsters, including the girls' father Alik (Roman Ageev).
AKS-74U
Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) can be seen aiming what appears to be an AKS-74U, fitted with blank firing muzzle adapter.
Makarov PM
Alik (Roman Ageev) can be seen using Makarov PM.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
A side-by-side 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun can be seen used by Seifullin (Aleksandr Bashirov). Sveta (Oksana Akinshina) also uses it in one scene.
Trivia
Posters and Covers
It's interesting that each poster and cover of the movie contains at least two firearms in it.
