Revision as of 18:23, 11 February 2017
Piraty XX veka (Pirates of the XXth Century) is a 1979 Soviet film directed by Boris Durov about modern piracy. A Soviet cargo ship carrying a load of medicinal opium is attacked by a group of vicious pirates, who sink the ship and leave its crew for dead. The surviving crew members decide to take revenge by attacking the pirates, who have hidden their ship at a small Pacific island. This film was the highest grossing Soviet movie of 1980.
The following weapons are used in the film Pirates of the XXth Century (also known as Piraty XX veka):
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
Colt M1911A1 pistols are carried by a few of the pirates who seize control of the Soviet cargo ship. Chief mate Sergej Sergejitsch (Nikolai Yeryomenko, Jr.) also uses a M1911A1 when he attacks the pirate ship in the finale.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 was taken by Soviet sailors from a captured pirate. It is carried by Captain Iwan Iljitsch (Pyotr Velyaminov) during the attack on the pirate ship.
Walther P38
The chrome plated Walther P38 is used by Captain Iwan Iljitsch (Pyotr Velyaminov) after the pirate ship is seized.
SMGs and assault rifles
Sten Mk II
Sten Mk II submachine guns are carried by the Indian police officers who escort the cargo of opium during the introduction of the movie, and later by many of the pirates who board the ship to steal its cargo.
M1928A1 Thompson
Several of the pirates, including Salech (Talgat Nigmatulin) are armed with M1928A1 Thompson submachine guns when they capture the Soviet ship. The weapons appear in various configurations, with different handguards and some lacking buttstocks.
Sturmgewehr 44 (visually modified to resemble M16)
One of the most common weapons used by both the pirates and later the Soviet crew members are Sturmgewehr 44 automatic rifles, visually modified with the addition of a carrying handle, a modified front sight and shorter magazines to resemble either the M16 or the AR-10 rifle.
MGs
PK Machine Gun (visually modified to resemble MG34)
Three of the pirates are armed with PK Machine Guns that have been visually modified with the addition of a different barrel and buttstock to resemble MG34 machine guns. These are used to gun down several crew members when the pirates attack the cargo ship.
Other
SPSh Flare Pistol
The SPSh flare pistol is used by the Soviet sailors when they attack the pirate ship. The weapon is fired at close quarters to subdue some of the pirates, allowing the sailors to steal their weapons.
