==Makarov PM==
The only handgun widely used in series is [[Makarov PM]]. Originally, Maxim Kalinin ([[Eduard Flerov]]) had one PM (with silencer), along with Saiga-410K-01 and RPG-26. After taking out the drug dealers at waste ground, Max and Kostyan robbed an apartment of Kalinin's former superior, colonel Muratov. When Muratov unexpectedly returned and was knocked out by Orlov, his Makarov was taken by the two and lated used by Anton Karev ([[Timur Efremenkov]]) to execute a corrupted police officer.
Shortly before, Max gave a task to Kostyan to go to Vladikavkaz where a large black firearms market exists, and to buy there 3 more suppressed Makarovs along with other weapons (which he successfully fulfilled). 4 more Makarovs were commandeered by Anton from the dead drug dealers after cottage shootout, increasing the total number of Makarovs "Sword" had from three to seven.

==Makarov PMM==
Max ordered to Kostyan to go to Vladikavkaz where a large black firearms market exists, and to buy there 3 more suppressed Makarovs, 2 AKS-74U, 2 PP-19 "Bison-3", 2 OTs-02 "Kiparis" and SVD Dragunov sniper rifle. 4 more Makarovs were commandeered by Anton from the dead drug dealers after cottage shootout, increasing the total number of Makarovs "Sword" had to 7.
PMM was used by robber Timur ([[Viktor Mishakov]]) during jewellery shop hold-up. It could be identified as PMM only by a wider grip which is seen when Timur puts a pistol to the neck of a shop owner who attempted to press the alarm button. Sword also had one PMM (Orlov bought not 3 Makarov PMs, but 2 PMs and 1 PMM). Olga Stepnenko ([[Viktoria Fischer]]) had that PMM kept in locker at her kitchen at the end of the series.

[[AKS-74U]] Krinkov carbines are used by "Sword", police and "Hydra" militants. Criminal ringleader Shamil Dadashev and robber Mikhail Balashov briefly used the AKS-74U as well.
Kostyan ([[Roman Kurtzyn]]) was ordered to buy two AKS-74U on his trip to Vladikavkaz, but was given three of them probably as a compensation instead of PP-19 Bizons, which were unavailable. For some reason, the team never used more than two AKS-74U in their raids until 18th episode.

[[AKS-74]] were used by numerous characters; MVD Spetsnaz, OMON, FSB Alpha Group, some "Hydra" militants, Russian paratroopers and  Chechen terrorists from Kalinin and Savkin's flashbacks, Kovalchuk ("black realtors" gang member) and one of the detectives from Egorov's investigation team during store gunfight all used AKS-74. 2 AKS-74 were commandeered from the killed "Hydra" militants by "Sword" after forest shootout. One of these AKS-74 was carried by Orlov during raid on TV center, and both of them were later used by Karev and Orlov during team's escape through the police cordon.

Due to a continuity error, Anton Karev's AKS-74 switches to AKS-74U when he pulls up Chizhov who killed a man for the first time in his life.

==AK-74M==  
[[AK-74M]] is a standard weapon for Russian army. It was used by some of "Hydra" militants, MVD Spetznaz and OMON. Some of VDV paratroopers and Chechen terrorists in Kalinin's flashback were also seen carrying the AK-74M. One of the detectives from Egorov's team used AK-74M during the storehouse shootout.

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKM - 7,62x39 mm]]
[[AKM]]s are used by "Hydra" militants, most notably by the one who wounded Savkin ([[Alexander Barinov]]) and to whom Kalinin spoke a memorable speech later. Orlov trained Olga how to shoot with it. In Kalinin's flashback about his times in VDV and Chechen war, he was seen with AKM, which is quite a strange choose for VDV troop who would rather use AKS-74 or AK-74M.

AKM was used by Max in rescuing Savkin's daughter from "Hydra" office. Then again, the AKM appeared in his hands most likely due to a continuity error since he was clearly seen carrying an AKS-74U while entering the building.

==AKMS==
==AKMS==
[[AKMS]] was carried by commander of "Ruby" rapid response team of "Hydra" private security company. Some of OMON troops in the last episode also carried these rifles.
One more AKMS has been used by Dmitry Chizhov in the last episode during bloody gunfight.  It is one of the most serious continuity errors since all of "Sword" operators were armed with AKS-74U at the beginning of the raid on Muratov's apartment (and even during the most part of chase scene).

==Saiga-MK-03==
 
A [[Saiga-MK-03]] semi-auto rifle, chambered in 7,62x39mm is seen in use by one of prison bus guards. Rather strange, since in reality Saiga-MK is a civilian-grade semi-auto rifle.
==AKMS/AKS-74U Hybrid==
A very strange rifle was carried by one of the convoy policemen who escorted two renegade GAI officers, which bears characteristics of both AKS-74U and AKMS.

[[Saiga-410K-01]] with wooden grip and 10-round magazine was illegally kept by Kalinin at home, and was used by Konstantin Orlov to blow up a drug dealers' car and a little later to take out the last remaining dealer while Max was hesitating. The weapon was loaded not with lead shots, but with bullet rounds instead (otherwise it would be impossible to shoot at 70 m distance). It is probably the first appearance of this gun on the TV show.

Drug dealer Samir also used PP-91 in the cottage gunfight with Karev.


2 [[Kedr PP-91]] were sold to Orlov by illegal arms dealer in Vladikavkaz instead of PP-19 "Bison". They were provided by something what appears to be either custom made silencers or compensators. Strange, but "Sword" used them only once, in the raid on pedophiles' cottage.

Konstantin Orlov ([[Roman Kurtzyn]]) carries a Dragunov SVDS, often fitted with a suppressor. It is not the usual [[SVD Dragunov]], but the SVDS version developed for VDV paratroopers.


Konstantin Orlov's ([[Roman Kurtzyn]]) weapon of choice as a sniper is [[Dragunov SVDS]], often fitted by silencer and flash suppressor. It is not a usual SVD (though everyone refers to it as merely SVD), but a SVDS version intended for VDV paratroopers.

==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Suppressed==
==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (Airsoft Replica)==
[[Image:AWS 1800.jpg|thumb|501px|none|Accuracy International AWS - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
What appears to be an airsoft replica of the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] was used by an assassin hired to kill Irina Knyazeva. Alpha Group snipers also used them in episode 25. It can be identified as an airsoft replica by the straight barrel profile, lack of cut-out over the magazine well and the plain silver "ejection port".


What appears to be [[ Accuracy International AWS]] was used by sniper assassin.

==PKM machine gun==
Alpha Group snipers used [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] AWSM in the last shootout and chase scene. It makes sense since L96A1 (chambered .338 Lapua Magnum) is a standard weapon issued for Alpha Group.  
A [[PK machine gun]] was bought by Max in the 18th episode. The PKM was used by Savkin and later by  Karev after Savkin was wounded.

The [[RPG-26]] rocket launcher was used by Kalinin to assassinate Shamil Dadashev, the last surving member of the "black realtor" gang.


[[PK machine gun]] was bought by Max in 18th episode from his former commander from military base in Tula where both he and Orlov served. He covered the real intensions for buying a PKM, saying the gun will be used instead of blank-firing prop to film a movie. The PKM was fired to shoot the wheels of illegal armored cash car, and then during forest shootout, first by Savkin, and second by Karev in an overkill rage after Savkin got wounded. After the fight and return to the base, the machine gun was seemingly disposed of.
==RPG-26==

The [[RPG-26]] grenade launcher was used by Kalinin in an unseccessful attempt to assassinate Shamil Dadashev, the last surving member of the "black realtors" gang, but the launch resulted in killing his older brother Ruslan (local Azeri mafia leader in Stroginsk) instead, seriously wounding Shamil in process, however. As Kalinin claimed, he inoficcially confiscated RPG-26 "to keep it for the "black day".

One [[URG-N]] hand grenade together with URG F-1 was used by robber Mikhail Balashov during his escape from police.
Two F-1 were used in a booby-trap set by terrorists in Savkin's flashback (it took place most likely during Beslan hostage crisis). It is strange since they exploded with the time delay of several seconds, and not in instant after the booby-trap is being pulled, like it usually does in real life.

Russian poster for The Sword (Mech) (2009).

The Sword (Russian Title: "Mech/Меч") is a 2009 Russian action TV-series, probably inspired by the Rogue Force. Directed by Ilya Kulikov and Rustam Urazaev, the show is about a vigilante group created and led by a retired police major Maxim Kalinin (played by Eduard Flerov) nicknamed "Cap" for his service in VDV recon during Second Chechen War when he was ranked captain. The show is followed by a sequel series in 2015.

The following weapons were used in the television series The Sword:



Handguns

Beretta 92FS

Kidnapper Valery Girko (Sergei Fischer) used Beretta 92FS at the very beginning of the first episode. It is the first firearm shown in the series.

Makarov PM

The only handgun widely used in series is Makarov PM. Originally, Maxim Kalinin (Eduard Flerov) had one PM (with silencer), along with Saiga-410K-01 and RPG-26. After taking out the drug dealers at waste ground, Max and Kostyan robbed an apartment of Kalinin's former superior, colonel Muratov. When Muratov unexpectedly returned and was knocked out by Orlov, his Makarov was taken by the two and lated used by Anton Karev (Timur Efremenkov) to execute a corrupted police officer. Shortly before, Max gave a task to Kostyan to go to Vladikavkaz where a large black firearms market exists, and to buy there 3 more suppressed Makarovs along with other weapons (which he successfully fulfilled). 4 more Makarovs were commandeered by Anton from the dead drug dealers after cottage shootout, increasing the total number of Makarovs "Sword" had from three to seven.

Makarov PMM

PMM was used by robber Timur (Viktor Mishakov) during jewellery shop hold-up. It could be identified as PMM only by a wider grip which is seen when Timur puts a pistol to the neck of a shop owner who attempted to press the alarm button. Sword also had one PMM (Orlov bought not 3 Makarov PMs, but 2 PMs and 1 PMM). Olga Stepnenko (Viktoria Fischer) had that PMM kept in locker at her kitchen at the end of the series.

Rifles

AKS-74U

AKS-74U Krinkov carbines are used by "Sword", police and "Hydra" militants. Criminal ringleader Shamil Dadashev and robber Mikhail Balashov briefly used the AKS-74U as well. Kostyan (Roman Kurtzyn) was ordered to buy two AKS-74U on his trip to Vladikavkaz, but was given three of them probably as a compensation instead of PP-19 Bizons, which were unavailable. For some reason, the team never used more than two AKS-74U in their raids until 18th episode.

AKS-74

AKS-74 were used by numerous characters; MVD Spetsnaz, OMON, FSB Alpha Group, some "Hydra" militants, Russian paratroopers and Chechen terrorists from Kalinin and Savkin's flashbacks, Kovalchuk ("black realtors" gang member) and one of the detectives from Egorov's investigation team during store gunfight all used AKS-74. 2 AKS-74 were commandeered from the killed "Hydra" militants by "Sword" after forest shootout. One of these AKS-74 was carried by Orlov during raid on TV center, and both of them were later used by Karev and Orlov during team's escape through the police cordon.

AK-74M

AK-74M is a standard weapon for Russian army. It was used by some of "Hydra" militants, MVD Spetznaz and OMON. Some of VDV paratroopers and Chechen terrorists in Kalinin's flashback were also seen carrying the AK-74M. One of the detectives from Egorov's team used AK-74M during the storehouse shootout.

AKM

AKMs are used by "Hydra" militants, most notably by the one who wounded Savkin (Alexander Barinov) and to whom Kalinin spoke a memorable speech later. Orlov trained Olga how to shoot with it. In Kalinin's flashback about his times in VDV and Chechen war, he was seen with AKM, which is quite a strange choose for VDV troop who would rather use AKS-74 or AK-74M. AKM was used by Max in rescuing Savkin's daughter from "Hydra" office. Then again, the AKM appeared in his hands most likely due to a continuity error since he was clearly seen carrying an AKS-74U while entering the building. Later the AKM was carried by Dmitry Chizhov (Vlad Pavlov) during escape from the storehouse and he shot dead a detective in process with it.

AKMS

AKMS was carried by commander of "Ruby" rapid response team of "Hydra" private security company. Some of OMON troops in the last episode also carried these rifles. One more AKMS has been used by Dmitry Chizhov in the last episode during bloody gunfight. It is one of the most serious continuity errors since all of "Sword" operators were armed with AKS-74U at the beginning of the raid on Muratov's apartment (and even during the most part of chase scene).

Saiga-MK-03

A Saiga-MK-03 semi-auto rifle, chambered in 7,62x39mm is seen in use by one of prison bus guards. Rather strange, since in reality Saiga-MK is a civilian-grade semi-auto rifle.

Shotguns

Saiga-410K-01

Saiga-410K-01 with a wooden pistol grip and 10-round magazine was illegally kept by Kalinin, and was used by Konstantin Orlov (Roman Kurtsyn) to blow up a drug dealers' car and kill a dealer. It is probably the first appearance of this gun on TV show.

Submachine Guns

Kedr PP-91

A two Kedr PP-91s were sold to Orlov by an illegal arms dealer in Vladikavkaz instead of PP-19 "Bison"s. They were provided with custom suppressors. "Sword" used them only once, in the raid on pedophiles' cottage. Drug dealer Samir also used PP-91 in the cottage gunfight with Karev.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (Airsoft Replica)

What appears to be an airsoft replica of the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare was used by an assassin hired to kill Irina Knyazeva. Alpha Group snipers also used them in episode 25. It can be identified as an airsoft replica by the straight barrel profile, lack of cut-out over the magazine well and the plain silver "ejection port".
