An [[Astra 900]] pistol, standing for [[Mauser C96]], is a personal sidearm of White Army Staff Capt. Chyorniy ([[Oleg Borisov]]). In several scenes this pistol is carried by Chyorniy's aide, an unnamed ''Poruchik'' ([[Valeri Mironov]]). Astra 900 is also seen in several other Lenfilm productions, including ''[[Chief of Chukotka (Nachalnik Chukotki), The#Astra 900|Nachalnik Chukotki]]'', ''[[Lyubov_Yarovaya#Astra_900|Lyubov Yarovaya]]'', ''[[Strogovs (Strogovy), The#Astra_900|Strogovy]]'' and ''[[Life of Klim Samgin (Zhizn Klima Samgina), The#Astra 900|Zhizn Klima Samgina]]''.

Makar the Pathfinder (Makar-sledopyt) is a Soviet 1984 adventure mini series directed by Nikolai Kovalsky. During the Russian Civil war a village kid Makar, his friends and his pet dog help the Red Army and hijack a British tank, supplied to Whites.
The following weapons were used in the film Makar the Pathfinder (Makar-sledopyt):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by a Red Army commander Timofey (Aleksandr Lenkov) and by numerous White Army officers. All revolvers are of post-1930 version.
An Astra 900 pistol, standing for Mauser C96, is a personal sidearm of White Army Staff Capt. Chyorniy (Oleg Borisov). In several scenes this pistol is carried by Chyorniy's aide, an unnamed Poruchik (Valeri Mironov). Astra 900 is also seen in several other Lenfilm productions, including Nachalnik Chukotki, and Strogovy.
Due to a continuity error, Staff Capt. Chyorniy's (Oleg Borisov) Astra 900 switches to a Mauser C96 "Bolo", and later back to Astra. Same pistol is used by Myachik (Andrey Rostotskiy), the commander of reconnaissance of a Red Army regiment. Upon close inspection this pistol appears to have a full-size grip and early style lanyard ring, so it's possibly a standard C96 with barrel, shortened down to 3.9-inch (99mm).
A British officer (Igor Dmitriev), sent to White Army as a technical adviser on tanks, carries a Vis wz. 35 pistol, probably standing for M1911 (he even carries this pistol in US Army M1916 holster). Possibly same prop is seen in several other Lenfilm productions, like Moy drug Ivan Lapshin.
A pistol is very briefly and unclear seen in hands of engineer Antonov (Igor Chernitskiy), a member of Red covert organisation. This gun appears to be hammerless. It can be a member of vast family of Ruby pistols but it's only a guess.
In one scene Makar Zhuk (Maksim Minin) fires a single barreled shotgun with exposed hammer that belonged to his grandfather (Georgiy Teykh), the watchman in the manor house. The shotgun appears to be IZh-K (IZh-17, the direct descendant of IZh-K, is also possible but IZh-17s rarely have a groove on stock that is seen on the screen gun).
In the course of events an aged Red Army soldier Gavryukov alias Fadeyich (Vladimir Alekseyenko) gives two hand grenades (without fuzes) to Makar (Maksim Minin) who is sent on recon mission. These grenades appear to be anachronistic RGD-33.
A "British tank" is a valuable plot item. The screen vehicle is a mockup, build around some wheeled truck. Its outlook bears resemblance more with a German Sturmpanzerwagen A7V than British "rhomboid" tanks. Three Maxims are mounted on the tank, one in the superstructure and two on boards.
White troops also use several Austin armoured cars (modern replicas). Each Austin is armed with two Maxim machine guns (they aren't seen close enough to be identified as M1910 or M1910/30).
