Spies (Razvedchitsy; literally Female Spies or Female Secret Agents) is a 2013 Russian war drama TV series. During the World War 2 two young female agents of the Soviet intelligence service, Arina Prozorovskaya (Svetlana Ivanova) and Zoya Velichko (Svetlana Ustinova), successfully act together in numerous dangerous missions behind enemy lines despite their personal hatred to each other.

The following weapons were used in the television series Spies (Razvedchitsy):



Revolvers

Nagant M1895

In the episode that shows the criminal past of Zoya Velichko (Svetlana Ustinova), Zoya's accomplice Voron ("Raven") (Oleg Morozov) holds a Nagant M1895 revolver. Then Voron's revolver is taken by Zoya. In the war scenes Nagant revolvers are used by Arina Prozorovskaya (Svetlana Ivanova), Capt. Valeriy Shapkin (Kirill Zhandarov), unnamed Major of medical service (Aleksandr Sayutalin), and a Polish female partisan Beata (Aleksandra Bolshakova).

Webley .455 Mk VI

During the mission in Nazi-occupied Riga, a British MI-6 agent, acting under the name of Ivan Sergeevich Steblov (Ignat Akrachkov), owns a Webley .455 Mk VI revolver. Later his gun is seen in hands of scientist Boris Serebrov (Valeriy Kukhareshin). As the series were filmed on the base of Lenfilm studio, there is a decent possibility that this particular revolver is the same gun, used in numerous Lenfilm productions, notably in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Pistols

TT-33

In several scenes Zoya Velichko and Arina Prozorovskaya use TT-33 pistols. TT pistols are also seen in hands of intelligence school instructor Capt. Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin) and some minor characters. All pistols that are seen close are of pre-1947 version.

Mauser C96 (Denix)

In the episode in Riga, Artis (Aleksandr Ronis) gives a Mauser C96 to Zoya and Arina. The screen gun is a non-firing Denix replica. According to the storyline, the pistol is unloaded.

Luger P08

During the mission against Polish partisans leader Zbigniew Ternowiecki in 1944, Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin) carries a Luger P08. Zoya takes Petrov's pistol after he is wounded. Lugers are also used by German officers SS Obersturmführer Keller (Andrey Polishchuk) and Luftwaffe Maj. Gunter von Rickert (Markus Kunze), Capt. Valeriy Shapkin (Kirill Zhandarov) and two of Ternowiecki's bodyguards. It seems to be that two pistols are reused throuthout the series, and one or maybe both of those guns are blank- or gas-firing replicas.

Luger P08 (Denix)

Denix replicas of Luger P08 are widely used throughout the series, used by Arina, her husband Vladimir Semyonov (Anatoliy Rudenko), Nikolay Petrov (Evgeniy Pronin), a Soviet agent Vadim (Igor Kopylov) who acts under the person of SS Obersturmführer Walser, and some German officers and NCOs. These guns can be identified as Denix replicas by the screw of the cover and unnatural magazine and barrel.

Browning Hi-Power

During the shootout with Ternowiecki's guards, Nikolay Petrov's Luger P08 swithces to a Browning Hi-Power due to a continuity error. This pistol existed during the WW2 and was adopted in Nazi Germany as Pistole 640(b), but the actual screen gun is a post-war model.

M1911-style

In one scene Zoya fires an M1911-style pistol that switches to a TT in the next moment. The pistol looks more like a blank-firing or less-lethal gun that a live pistol. Possibly M911s are also in M1916 holsters of US Army personnel on a road block in Berlin in 1945.

MP40 (replica)

Many MP40s, used in the series, are airsoft guns, identified by unnaturally dull grey surface, typical muzzles and some minor details.

M1928A1 Thompson

One of the US Army soldiers on the road block carries a Thompson M1928A1. Very possibly this is a Denix M1928A1 Thompson replica that can be seen in several Russian war films and TV series (for some reason, the official Denix advertising video calls it "M1", although the web catalogue is correctly identified as M1928A1).

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon and M1891/30

Soviet soldiers and Polish partisans widely use Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles. Some rifles lack the hood on the front sight and may be M1891 Dragoon or M91/30 with removed hoods.

Mosin Nagant Carbine

Several Soviet soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant carbines that doesn't match any production version and turn out to be full-length rifles with custom shortened barrels. Similar props were used in some Soviet movies about the Russian Civil war to imitate Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines; possibly these screen guns are of same kind.

Karabiner 98k

Many German soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles. Soviet soldiers also use captured 98k rifles. Several screen guns have straight bolt handles while all other features match 98k; possibly these are results of post-war (or even modern) repair with replacing of original 98k bolt with the one of a different Mauser model.

M1 Garand
