We Take All Upon Ourselves (a direct translation of the original title Beryom vsyo na sebya) is a Soviet 1980 war movie directed by Yevgeni Sherstobitov. In Summer 1944 a group of Soviet Black Sea Fleet commandos is sent on a mission to destroy a German floating battery that is a threat for the upcoming landing operation. When the commandos appear on place, they uncover an even greater menace: a well-hidden coastal battery. Now they have to take all upon themselves and destroy both targets in a single night.


The following weapons were used in the film We Take All Upon Ourselves (Beryom vsyo na sebya):
