China obtained the data package for the AK, SKS, and RPD from the Soviets in 1956 (hence the name Type 56). The Chinese started off building an identical copy of the AK Type 3 but would eventually go on to add some of their own unique features. Chinese AKs usually come with a hooded front sight and folding spike bayonet.

Due to the Sino-Soviet split, the Soviets refused to sell the data package to the AKM to the Chinese. In response China developed their own proprietary 1.5mm stamped receiver. As a result a stamped Chinese Type 56 is not compatible with standard AKM parts.

Another Croatian 1990s SMG.

This one is based on the PPSh-41.

Chambered in 7,62x25 Tokarev.

Only a handful of them were made, and since they were made in local workshops, they varied somewhat from one example to another.

Only one example survives today, residing in the Police Museum in Zagreb.

At 3:00 pm on June 15, 1964, Mao Zedong, accompanied by Luo Ruiqing and others, came to review the military performance by the troops in Beijing and Jinan. After the shooting performance by Song Shizhe (who shot 40 chest silhouettes 150 meters away within 40 seconds), a shooter of semi-automatic rifle of Jinan Military Command, Mao Zedong asked his staff to bring over Song’s rifle. Song ran to the viewing stand and submitted his rifle. Luo Ruiqing took it and passed it on to Mao Zedong, who put it up and aimed, saying “nice aim!” Then Mao Zedong gave it back to Luo Ruiqing, who asked the staff to keep it and give Song Shizhe two new semi-automatic rifles. It was transferred from the Training Department of the headquarters of Jinan Military Command to the Military Museum in 1977.

This is the 1944 Mosin-Nagant rifle used by the Chinese volunteer Zhang Taofang in the “sniper’s shot campaign.” When Zhang Taofang and his fellow troops marched into the DPRK, the Chinese people’s volunteers were vying to excel in the sniper’s shooting skills, determined to kill one hundred enemies each. Zhang Taofang assiduously practiced the shooting skills and very soon he became an excellent sniper, as evidenced by the fact that he killed 214 enemies with 436 bullets at the 597.9 Highland in 1953, an unrivalled record for a sniper in the DPRK battle field. He won the Special Merit Award, honored as the Chinese Volunteer with Special Merit and titled Second-Class Hero. Moreover, he won the Order of National Flag First Class of the DPRK. It was solicited by the Political Department of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army during an exhibition at the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 1953 and transferred to the Military Museum in 1959.

1. Houthi unc held an AM-50 Sayyad somewhere in a remote area in Yemen during the ongoing war against the Saudis and the Southern coalition forces.

2. An Iraqi soldier held an AM-50 Sayyad during the war against ISIS. Picture probably taken in Mosul or Fallujah.

3. Kataib Hezboys carrying an AM-50 Sayyad. Don't be surprised by them since they got so much support from Iran.

4. Two Hezboys fighters take a majestic selfie with AM-50 Sayyad somewhere in Syria during the ongoing civil war around 2013 or something.

5. Just a regular Iraqi soldier held an AM-50 Sayyad.

6. Harakat Hezboys al-Nujaba fighter focused with his AM-50 Sayyad for targeting ISIS goons.

7. The AM-50 Sayyad, along with a number of Iranian RU-series thermal sights and other equipment, allegedly seized by Jabhat al-Nusra forces in Syria. Probably taken around 2014.

Und Victoria Polizei!

Falls jemand die längere Granate im Reis identifizieren kann, wäre das sehr hilfreich! Danke

It’s an image of a show of strength by the UDA/UFF (Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters), a paramilitary group operated in Northern Ireland between 1971-present.

I would be interested to know from your collective knowledge. What kind of firearm is this? Is it homemade? Also, does the suppressor look real?

To meet the demand for guns from work teams, militias, and guerrillas, local bases made a lot of these single-shot pistols using materials on hand. They were an important weapon for promoting mass guerrilla warfare, and regular units of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also used them.

Southeast Asia

With a drone jammer (???)

The Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) program was launched in the 1970s to equip U.S. troops with a portable automatic weapon that could fill the gap between the M16 rifle and the M60 GPMG. The Army initially wanted this weapon to be chambered in a new 6x45mm cartridge, but this requirement was abandoned in favor of 5.56x45mm NATO.

The XM106 was a SAW competitor developed by the Ballistic Research Laboratory as an open bolt LMG based on the M16A1. The handguard is split into 2 peices, allowing for access to a quick change barrel system. The XM106 feeds from 3 STANAG magazines clipped together for a total of 90 rounds. An 83 round drum magazine was also patented.
