	~~Look at the curvature of the magazine, it's a 7.62 mag not a 5.45. The forearm also lacks palm swells.~~
	Could be an AKM with a new plastic 7.62x39mm mag. Cause if you take a close look at the end of the barrel it doesn't have the AK-74's flash suppressor/compensator. Also to my knowledge there was newer an AK-74 in 7.62x39mm caliber there is an AK-103, but it is totally black finish (material like on the AK-74M, modernized).

"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun): Explaining why that's comedically wrong but simultaneously not that far off as a trivia addition

	For his job, The Jackal ([[Bruce Willis]]) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a '''"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm"''', which is in reality a [[Browning M2HB]] mocked up as a [[KPV]] heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont ([[Jack Black]]), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassination attempt. The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.		For his job, The Jackal ([[Bruce Willis]]) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts.

			''Trivia: While there are a handful of large-bore anti aircraft platforms called the "ZSU", AND they were used by Poland, the suffix is bore diameter in millimeters, so if it existed, it would be designated the "ZSU-14.5". However, neither a ZSU-14.5, nor a ZSU-33 exist, the series only features the ZSU-23, ZSU-37, and ZSU-57, so where they got the "33" from is totally unclear.

			''Furthermore, the "ZSU" series doesn't refer to the guns themselves but the self-propelled vehicles they're mounted in. The guns themselves don't have names, they're done by mount. ZSU-23 for instance, means self-propelled vehicle with 23mm gun, whereas ZU-23 would mean a stationary mount outfitted with the same gun.

			''HOWEVER, it's not totally hopeless, the ZSUs were made to replace the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 (because these used pre-existing, pre-named base guns, the numbering is simply the order in which they were developed), which were actually anti-aircraft weapons (again, the designation technically refers to the mount) for which the gun used was the 14.5mm KPV, and were used by Poland, so, calling it a "Polish Z'''P'''U 14.5mm" would actually be (sorta) correct.
