A Man from the Boulevard des Capucines (Chelovek s bulvara Kaputsinov) (1987)

A Man from the Boulevard des Capucines (Chelovek s bulvara Kaputsinov) is a 1987 Western comedy by Alla Surikova. The main character of the movie, Jonny First (Andrey Mironov) arrives to the Wild West to present the art of the Cinematograph and completely changes the life of the typical Frontier town and its residents.

The firearms in the movie are mostly anachronistic but at least they tried to look similar to the true Western revolvers and rifles.

The following weapons are seen in the movie A Man from the Boulevard des Capucines (Chelovek s bulvara Kaputsinov):

Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model

Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model revolvers are used by several characters. This is Russian-produced Pattern II model that differs a little from the original S&W.

Nagant M1895 short-barreled revolver

The ladies of the town are armed with short-barreled Nagant M1895 revolvers. This is a custom version with a very short barrel (shorter than the "standard" short Nagant). Supposedly it is the same weapon that was used in Teheran 43.
