Revision as of 22:49, 25 January 2014
Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (Alien: Resurrection). Jude Law stars in the film as Vassili Zaitsev, an ordinary Russian soldier who became a legend for his feats as a sniper fighting during the battle of Stalingrad. Ed Harris co-stars in the film as German intelligence officer Major König, an expert sniper tasked to eliminate Zaitsev. The cast also includes Joseph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. The film is notable for being one of the few modern English language films to depict the Eastern Front of the war.
The following weapons were used in the film Enemy at the Gates:
Soviet Army Weapons
Pistols
Tokarev TT-33 Pistol
The Tokarev TT-33 pistol is used by Soviet officers and political officers (NKVD NCOs and officers).
Nikita Khrushchev (Bob Hoskins) hands a Red Army General (Hans Martin Stier) his Tokarev TT-33 pistol to commit suicide. Note the shape of the cocking serrations which is typical for pre-1947 version of TT.
Nagant M1895 Revolver
The Nagant M1895 Revolver is used by Red Army and NKVD political officers.
Political officer fires his Nagant M1895 Revolver at soldiers who jumped in the river.
On the right, Red Army and NKVD political officers fire at the retreating soldiers with their Nagant M1895 Revolver.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is used by nearly all Soviet infantry enlisted men in the film. Also used by Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) at the first battle he experiences in Stalingrad.
Junior Politruk Danilov (Joseph Fiennes) aims an M91/30 rifle at the Germans.
An M1891 in the hands of Zaitsev's grandfather hunting wolves. It should be noted that this model has a turned down bolt handle (standard 1891s and 91/30s have straight handles) as well as wooden grooves in the foregrip, almost like it has been sporterized. *Note: This is a Sniper Variant Nagant. You can tell by the holes drilled through the receiver (as seen in the walls of the chamber). The opposite side view of this rifle shows the screws for the scope mount*
Mosin Nagant M38
This shorter carbine version of the Mosin Nagant M38 is seen carried by Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), when she first encounters Vasily Zaitsev.
When Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz) first enters the basement, she is carrying a Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine. Note that she does not use the leather 'rings' of the traditional Mosin Nagant Sling, instead she sticks one end through the buttstock sling opening (like a K98 Rifle). Probably a field expedient to a damaged rifle sling.
Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz) setting her Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine against the wall next to Vasilis' Sniper Rifle.
Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle
Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) uses a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifle with a PU scope when he is "promoted" to sniper. The Sniper version of the M91/30 is used by the other Soviet snipers, most notably master sniper Koulikov (Ron Perlman), Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), and junior snipers Volodya (Ivan Shvedoff) and Ludmilla (Sophie Rois). The use of the PU scope is anachronistic, as the Mosin-Nagant rifle with PU scope did not appear until 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad. Zaitsev actually carried a Mosin-Nagant with an earlier PEM scope.
Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) takes aim with a Mosin Nagant M91/30 sniper rifle.
Koulikov (Ron Perlman) aims his Mosin Nagant Sniper Rifle.
