Dead Man's Bluff (original title Zhmurki; also released in English as Blind Man's Bluff) is a Russian 2005 crime black comedy directed by Aleksey Balabanov. It depicts a story of two young but ruthless and ambitious criminals in Russian provincial town in 1990s.
The following weapons were used in the film Dead Man's Bluff (Zhmurki):
Handguns
Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1
Sergey's (Aleksey Panin) personal weapon is a nickel plated M1911-style pistol that appears to be a blank firing Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1. Simon (Dmitriy Dyuzhev) carries a similar looking blued pistol. In the climactic scene a rival criminal Baklazhan ("Eggplant") (Grigoriy Siyatvinda) manages to get Sergey's pistol.
Walther PPK
Simon (Dmitriy Dyuzhev) also carries two hidden Walther PPK pistols, fitted with drawer slide quick-draw devices, similar to the one in Taxi Driver. The pistols act strangely: each time Simon fires, the slides stop in rear position as if the pistols are loaded with only single cartridge, and Simon has to move slides manually.
Makarov PM
Makarov PM pistol is used by corrupted Militsia (police) Lt. Stepan Voronov (Viktor Sukhorukov). Some other criminals also carry PMs.
Unidentified Beretta 92-style pistols
Various criminals carry Beretta 92-style pistols. Most likely they are blank firing gun. Two different versions can be seen: the first one has stepped trigger guard and slide mounted safety, and the second version have smooth trigger guard and frame mounted safety.
Unidentified Smith & Wesson-style pistol
During the shootout in morgue in the opening scene "Executioner" (Kirill Pirogov) uses a Smith & Wesson-style pistol as a backup gun. It is a blued pistol with double badge stacks, rounded trigger guard and ajustable sights. Possible versions are Smith & Wesson 459 and Smith & Wesson 5904, or maybe some blank firing S&W-based pistol.
Unidentified pistols
Unidentified revolver
In the climactic scene Sergey (Aleksey Panin) uses a snub nose revolver to make captured rival criminals Koron (Sergey Makovetskiy) and Bala (Anatoliy Zhuravlyov) to play Russian roulette that Sergey calls a "zhmurki" (blind man's bluff game; hense the title of the movie). The revolver appears to be a blank firing (gas- or rubber-firing) gun. Umarex Smith & Wesson Chief's Special seems to be a reasonable guess but it's still doubtful.
