Unidenfitied Mosin Nagant rifle

One of the Red Army men carries an unknown version of Mosin Nagant Rifle. Its nose cap and protected front sight with large "ears" bear similarity to the ones used on Finnish Mosin Nagant rifles, but both these details and the position of rifle sling slot doesn't match exactly any Finnish model.

The cavalryman carries the rifle. Note the Finnish style nose cap, the "ears" on the front sight that differs in shape from Finnish rifles, and the position of the rifle sling slot that is too near to the nose cap.

Hunting rifle

One of the Reds holds a long gun that seems to be a hunting or sporing rifle, possibly a small caliber one. A front sight is visible so this gun is less likely a bolt-action Berdanka or Frolovka shotgun.

Machine Guns

Maxim M1910

Other Weapons

RG-14 Hand Grenade

The cook Kasyan Sergeevich (Nikolay Gorlov) carries a very battered RG-14 hand grenade that he uses as nothing more than a kitchen knife sharpener. More fit for battle RG-14s are used by the Red Army regiment commander Grachyov (uncredited) and other Red Army men, and also by Yasha Sheverdin (Nikolay Smorchkov).

RG-12 Hand Grenade

Several of Tula workers' detachment personnel use RG-12 hand grenades. These grenades are extremely rare on screen, as the manufacturing of RG-12 was stopped in 1916, and most produced grenades were spent during the WWI and the Russian Civil War.

Pineapple Grenade

A pineapple grenade is seen together with RG-14 hand grenades. It is seen only partially so the exact model is unclear. Mills Bomb is a possible but not nessessary guess.
