Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 World War II film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Jude Law stars in the film as Vasily 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 Erwin König, an expert sniper tasked to eliminate Zaitsev. The cast also includes Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz and Bob Hoskins. 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:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Soviet Army Weapons
Rifles/Carbines
Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle
Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) uses the sniper variant of the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle with a PU scope when he is "promoted" to sniper. The sniper version of the M91/30 is also used by other Soviet snipers, most notably master sniper Koulikov (Ron Perlman), Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), and junior snipers Volodya (Ivan Shvedoff), Anton (Mario Bandi) 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.
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) in the first battle he experiences in Stalingrad. At the beginning of the film, unarmed conscripts are paired up and given a single M91/30 per pair, and told to pick up their partner's rifle when he is shot. This single scene actually ended up leading to a number of rumors and myths that the Red Army only had half as many guns as soldiers, and sent men into combat unarmed. This, like much of the movie, is completely embellished and was added to emphasize the desperation present in the Soviets at the battle of Stalingrad.
Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine
The Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine is carried by Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), when she first encounters Vasily Zaitsev.
Handguns
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 pistol is used by Soviet officers and political officers (NKVD NCOs and officers).
Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 Revolver is used by Red Army and NKVD political officers.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is used by Russian NCOs and NKVD blocking troops as well as standard Red Army soldiers during the Battle of Stalingrad.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DPM
At the Soviet headquarters, Russian guards have the Degtyaryov DPM machine gun.
Maxim M1910/30
Russian Maxim M1910/30 machine guns can be seen in various fortified positions and on the troop transport train.
DShK
The DShK heavy machine gun is seen rear mounted on a Russian boat first seen transporting Nikita Khrushchev (Bob Hoskins) and then later transporting Zaitsev (Jude Law) and Koulikov (Ron Perlman).
Others
25 mm M1940 (72-K) Anti Aircraft Gun
The 25 mm M1940 (72-K).
76 mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3)
A 76 mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) is seen on a Soviet boat.
85mm Air Defense Gun M1939 (52-K)
T-34/85
Several late-war T-34/85 medium tanks are seen in the streets of Stalingrad.
German Army Weapons
Rifles
Karabiner 98k Sniper Rifle
A Karabiner 98k sniper rifle (hand-selected barrels with hard points for a scope mount and scope) is used by Major Erwin König (Ed Harris).
Karabiner 98k
The infantry version of the Karabiner 98k is used by German soldiers.
Handguns
Walther PPK
What appears to be a Walther PPK is seen in the holster of General Paulus' Aide de Camp (Holger Handtke).
Luger P08
The German NCO (Clemens Schick) briefing Major König (Ed Harris) has a holster at his side indicating he carries a Luger P08.
Submachine Guns
MP38
The MP38 is used by various German soldiers, usually older NCOs. The precursor to the MP40, finely machined and more difficult to manufacture, the MP38 was phased out in favor of the stamped sheet metal MP40.
MP40
The MP40 is used by German soldiers, usually infantry NCOs or Armored troops.
MP41
The MP41 (a more expensive, wooden stock version of the MP40) is used by one of the German soldiers firing into the fountain filled with dead Russians.
Machine Guns
MG 34
The MG 34 is used by German infantry in fortified positions.
MG42
The MG42 is also used by German soldiers. While the MG42 actually saw limited use at Stalingrad, the film's depiction commits the common error of showing the weapon with the post-1943 vertical charging handle instead of the period-appropriate and rare slab-sided horizontal handle.
Others
10.5 cm leichte Feldhaubitze 18/40
Some German 10.5 cm leichte FeldHaubitze 18/40 can be seen.
15 cm sIG 33
Several 15 cm sIG 33 with different shields can be seen throughout the movie.
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
A German NCO tries to throw a Model 24 Stielhandgranate at Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law) in the fountain before being killed.
Gewehrgranatengerät
A Gewehrgranatengerät mounted on a Karabiner 98k is briefly seen.
Panzer 61 (Modified to resemble a Panzer III)
Some Swiss Panzer 61 medium tanks are used as stand-ins for German Panzer III medium tanks. These modified tanks are re-used in the movies All the Queen's Men and Defiance.
8.8 cm FlaK 36
A FlaK 36 anti-aircraft gun is briefly seen at the end of the movie.
