Piraty XX veka (Pirates of the XXth Century) is a 1979 Soviet film directed by Boris Durov about modern piracy. A Soviet cargo ship carrying a load of medicinal opium is attacked by a group of vicious pirates, who sink the ship and leave its crew for dead. The surviving crew members decide to take revenge by attacking the pirates, who have hidden their ship at a small Pacific island. This film was the highest grossing Soviet movie of 1980.
The following weapons were used in the film Pirates of the XXth Century (Piraty XX veka):
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
Colt M1911A1 pistols are carried by some pirates who seize control of the Soviet cargo ship, including their captain (Rein Aren) and his second-in-command Salekh (Talgat Nigmatulin). Chief engineer Sergey Sergeevich (Nikolai Yeryomenko, Jr.) uses Salekh's M1911A1 when he attacks the pirate ship in the finale scene.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 was taken by Soviet sailors from a captured pirate. It is carried by Captain Ivan Ilyich (Pyotr Velyaminov) during the attack on the pirate ship.
Walther P38
The chrome plated Walther P38 is used by Captain Ivan Ilyich (Pyotr Velyaminov) after the pirate ship is seized.
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk II
Sten Mk II submachine guns are carried by the Indian police officers who escort the cargo of opium during the introduction of the movie, and later by many of the pirates who board the ship to steal its cargo, notably by the chief of the boarding team Schweigert (Igor Klass).
M1928A1 Thompson
Several of the pirates, including Salekh (Talgat Nigmatulin), are armed with M1928A1 Thompson submachine guns when they capture the Soviet ship. The weapons appear in various configurations, with different handguards and some lacking buttstocks.
MAT-49
Not used directly in action, but the MAT-49 is seen in the hands of one mercenary on pirates' photo.
Assault Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44 (visually modified to resemble M16)
One of the most common weapons used by both the pirates and later the Soviet crew members are Sturmgewehr 44 automatic rifles, visually modified with the addition of a carrying handle, a modified front sight and shorter magazines to resemble either the M16 or the AR-10 rifle.
AKM
Schweigert (Igor Klass) on one of the photos with his "exploits" holds AKM with bakelite magazine.
FN FAL
The FN FAL rifle seen on the same photo in the hands of one of the mercenaries.
Machine Guns
PK Machine Gun (visually modified to resemble MG34)
Three of the pirates are armed with PK Machine Guns that have been visually modified with the addition of a different barrel and buttstock to resemble MG34 machine guns. These are used to gun down several crew members when the pirates attack the cargo ship.
PK Machine Gun (original)
The unmodified PK Machine Gun can be seen on one of the pirates' photos.
MG34
A real MG34 machinegun is seen on the one photo.
Other Weapons
SPSh Flare Pistol
Two SPSh Flare Pistols are used by the Soviet sailors when they attack the pirate ship. The weapon is fired at close quarters to subdue some of the pirates, allowing the sailors to capture their weapons.
Trivia
Pirates use naval mines to block the entrance of the bay. These are old Russian M1908 or M1912 mines.
