The Last Battle (Russian title Posledniy boy, Ukrainian title Ostanniy biy) is a 2019 (filmed 2018) Ukrainian Russian-language war mini-series. In June 1941 a Soviet experimental tank is on the way to the testing ground near Brest. When the tankers get news about the German invasion, they take the fight.


The following weapons were used in the film The Last Battle (Posledniy boy):


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

The commander of the tank Lt. Platov (Mikhail Khmurov) carries a Nagant M1895 revolver. In one scene he gives his revolver to engineer Igor Runge (Igor Petrusenko). Nagants are also used by sailor Yashka (Vladimir Gorislavets), the commander of German saboteurs (Sergey Siplivyy), the guard on the tank factory Pyatov (Artyom Fedotov), the commander of village volunteers (Aleksandr Spirin), village girl Alesya (Anastasiya Ivanova), and a Militsioner (Artem Poddubnyak). Nagants of both pre- and post-1930 versions are seen, and they often switch to each other due to numerous continuity errors.

Unidentified revolver

When the guard on the tank factory Pyatov (Artyom Fedotov) carries his revolver in holster, it is not a Nagant but some different revolver. Only the small part of the grip and the lanyard ring are seen.

The grip and the lanyard ring of Pyatov's holstered revolver definitly differ from Nagant.

Pistols

TT-33

The secretary of the town party committee Gordeladze (Fyodor Olkhovskiy) carries a TT-33. His pistol has brown grips that are common for 1939-40 and 1945 produced TTs. A TT is also used by one of the German saboteurs (Sebastyan Anton).

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891/30

Unidentified Mauser Rifles

Some German soldiers are armed with Mauser rifles of unclear models.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A soldier at the background right aims a Mauser rifle. The shape of the front sight with the protecting "ears" is common for Czech rifles and allows to guess that this is a Gewehr 33/40 (as the sling is attached to the side, not below the stock, this must be a German version of the Czech vz.16/33) but it's hard to say for sure.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A Mauser short rifle in hands of Kol'ka's mother (Olesya Ostrovska). The protecting "ears" of the front sight have rather uncommon shape. Possibly this front sight is a custom element. In the previous scene the character was seen with a standard Kar 98k.

Trivia

T-34-85 (visually modified)

The plot revolves around the Soviet experimental tank. The screen vehicle is a T-34-85, visually modified to resemble a T-34-76. The postwar IR reflector is mounted atop the turret.
