Brother (Brat) (1997) is a Russian film. The story revolves around a young Russian man named Danila (Sergei Bodrov), who goes to join his older brother in St. Petersburg. But Danila's older sibling is a gangster and cold blooded killer. Danila is asked to kill someone, and soon learns that he finds killing easier than living. (People who don't speak Russian may find it ironic and humorous that the Russian word for 'brother' is 'brat', so any of us who have brothers will find humor in that translation.)

The following weapons are featured in the film Brother:

Hand-made Revolver

Danila's first gun is a locally produced .22 LR revolver (which apparently has no official name). These cheap revolvers were produced in the 1990s by one of the gangs which operated out of the Moscow Suburbs. Many people wrongly identify it as a Nagant revolver.
