That's some list. Amazing.

Actually, I just realised that list doesn't include the ZPU-1 and ZU-23-S AA guns and 82mm mortar displayed outside my office.

My guess would be Romanian AKs, Russian AKMs and AK-47s, AK-74s,PKMs, RPKs and RPDs, Chinese AKs, M249s, M240 and M16A4s and M4s.
Pretty much a huge mixture of Western and Eastern gear. |
ANP carry AK-47s. Not so many Russian, alot of Chinese, and with the ANA in particular you see alot of Hungarian AMD-65s. Also RPGs, RPDs, RPKs, the occasional PKM.
ANP, it depends on the Kandak (about equivlent to a battalion). Most carry AKs, some have been re-equipped with M16A2s or C7A1s. AK74s are pretty uncommon in Afghanistan, and aren't normally used by government troops. No sense mucking up the logistics chain with another type of ammo, it's bad enough as it is. 74s, and espescially Krinkovs, tend to be prestige weapons in insurgent or militia groups. |
Prestige weapon? Does that mean the weapon is common or uncommon?
|
It means it's prized, valued.

Bin Laden has one, I read somewhere that he got it off a dead Soviet Soldier back in the 80's.
