= Revolvers =
== Nagant M1895 ==
[[Nagant M1895]] revolvers are used by many Red Army commanders and enlisted men, notably the commander of brigade Veselkov ([[Vladimir Kashpur]]). The 4th Army Commander Mikhail Vasilyevich Frunze (Aleksandr Mikhaylov (II)), the 4th Army Chief of Staff Fyodor Fyodorovich Novitskiy ([[Nikolay Volkov, Sr.]]) and the scouts unit commander in Veselkov's brigade Sasha Vikhrova (Natalya Tenyakova) carry Nagants in holsters. Most if not all revolvers are of anachronistic post-1930 model.

= Pistols =
== Mauser C96 ==
[[Mauser C96]] pistols are widely used in the movie (as it is common for the Soviet films about the Civil War, and much wider than it actually was), notably by a scout Andrey Karpov (Aleksey Yakovlev).
