Gladiator for Rent (Gladiator po naymu; Russian: Гладиатор по найму) is a 1993 Belarusian-Ukrainian detective/crime drama based on the novel "The Case of the Velvet Claws" by Erle Stanley Gardner. The owner of the private detective agency Ilya Mirsky (nicknamed "Gladiator for Hire" for his habit of taking the hard cases) receives a tempting offer from the wife of media mogul Yeva Lukachyova (who uses an alias Yeva Adamovich) - he should not allow the leak of compromising information, which would deprive Yeva of her multimillion-dollar inheritance. Deciding to take the case, Ilya could have hardly imagined that he would have to face a whole series of sophisticated murder, and that the result would be in the danger of his own life.


The following weapons were used in the film Gladiator for Rent (Gladiator po naymu):


Handguns

Epstein's Gun Shop

One scene in the film that requires its own section is the Epstein's Gun Shop. Several different types of weapons could be seen here. Most of them are shown only from a distance and are a little blurry, but, nevertheless, could be easily identified. Note: Guns which were already on the page are listed here again to save space.

P1001

Several P1001 pistols appear in the Epstein's Gun Shop (Guriy's own P1001 pistol was bought in this shop).

Supressed Walther P38

What appears to be a supressed Walther P38 is seen inter alia guns. The fact of the sale of supressed weapon in the official gun shop is purely cinematic. It is probably the same prop which is seen later in the hands of Mirsky.

Several StG 44 rifles, mocked up as a M16, appear in the Epstein's Gun Shop. Note that this is a Belarusfilm's fake "M16", which differs from Mosfilm's "M16s".
