The following weapons were used in the film Batalion:


Handguns

Nagant M1895

Mariya Bochkareva (Mariya Aronova), her deputy Lt. Seleznev (Nikolay Auzin), both instructors - Yefim Zadorozhnyy (Konstantin Vorobyov) and Alexey Kolokolchikov (Yakov Shamshin) and most Russian officers carry a Russian Nagant M1895. The revolvers are mostly of post-1930 version. At least one of it appears to be a Blef ("bluff") blank firing revolver, a conversion of live Nagant.

Machine Guns

Madsen machine gun

Private Dusya Grynyova (Yanina Malinchik) seized a Madsen machine gun in the German trench. The shape of the magazine matches versions in German 7.92x57mm Mauser caliber, but generally, this Madsen looks more like 1920s-1940s versions as early Madsens had a different barrel shroud.

Other

Gaswurfminen mortar (mockup)

German artillery used mortars for firing gas-grenades. They appear to be mockups that bear only marginally resemblance with real Gaswurfminen.
