Demons (original title Besy) is a Russian 2014 low budget movie loosely based on the famous novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky and unofficial mockbuster of TV series of the same year.

The following weapons were used in the film Demons (Besy):

Nagant M1895

Verkhovensky (Evgeni Tkachuk) owns a Nagant M1895. In one scene, he gives it to Liputin (Oleg Sokolov). It appears to be a Blef ("bluff") blank firing revolver, a conversion of live Nagant.

Zip Gun

Kirillov (Andrey Shchipanov) owns a Zip Gun. In a few scenes, his weapon appears in the hands of Verkhovensky (Evgeni Tkachuk) and Erkel (Nina Loshchinina). This gun never fires, so it's most likely a non firing prop.

Verkhovensky (Evgeni Tkachuk) hands the gun back to his owner. Hammer is seen.
