Red Bells (original title: Красные колокола, Фильм первый - Мексика в огне; Krasnye kolokola, film pervyy - Meksika v ogne; "Red Bells Part I: Mexico on Fire", also released as as "Messico in fiamme" in Italy and "Campanas rojas" in Mexico) is a 1982 Soviet-Italian-Mexican adventure-drama movie directed by Sergei Bondarchuk starring Franco Nero and Ursula Andress. It is the first of a two-parts film series centered on the life and career of John Reed, a revolutionary communist journalist known for his documentation of the Mexican and Russian Revolutions. It was followed by Red Bells II.
The following weapons were used in the film Red Bells:

Rifles
M1903 Springfield
Mexican rebels and Huerta's soldiers are mainly armed with M1903 Springfield rifles (which can be identified by the characteristic protective "hump" in front of the rear sights). A large number of rifles were used in the film, but they are mostly seen at a distance.
Mauser Carbine
The Mexican rebels and Huerta's soldiers also carry Mauser carbines. It's probably a Mexican M1910 Carbine model (historically correctly), as the movie was filmed in Mexico.
