Afghan Breakdown (Afganskiy izlom) is a 1991 Soviet-Italian co-production war drama directed by Vladimir Bortko. It depicts the story of a Soviet paratrooper unit just before the Soviet pull-out in 1988. Michele Placido appears in the role of Maj. Bandura, war-burned officer who is highly respected by his soldiers but disliked by commanders.
The following weapons were used in the film Afghan Breakdown:
Pistols
Makarov PB
Major Bandura (Michele Placido) carries a Makarov PB pistol. It is seen only in holster but a typical integral suppressor allows to identify the gun.
Makarov PM
A Makarov PM is seen in hands of helicopter pilot Shchup (Yuriy Kuznetsov) when he wants to show his marksmanship. Some other officers are seen carrying PM holsters but it's impossible to say if they contain pistols or are empty.
M1911A1
In the scene in Gulakhan's house a mujaheddin draws his M1911A1 at Gulakhan, accusing him to be a traitor.
Walther P38
The mujaheddin leader (Bakhadur Miralibekov) carries a Walther P38.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model
Three ancient revolvers are seen in Maj. Bandura' room. One of them is a Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model that Bandura gifts to rookie Sr. Lt. Steklov (Filipp Yankovskiy).
Iver Johnson Revolver
A small nickel plated revolver, possibly an Iver Johnson, is also seen in Bandura's room.
Saxon M1873 Revolver
The third revolver in Bandura's collection appears to be a Saxon M1873 Revolver.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
Some mujaheddins carry PPSh-41 submachine guns. Both drum and stick magazines are seen.
Sa 23
During the ambush on Soviet convoy a mujaheddin who mans DShK machine gun also carries an Sa 23 SMG.
Rifles
Dragunov SVD
A sniper of Maj. Bandura's unit is armed with a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles are carried by several of the mujaheddin fighters.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I rifles are also carried by mujaheddin fighters.
Lee-Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbine
What appears to be a Lee-Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbine is seen in hands of a mujaheddin.
SVT-40
Tokarev SVT-40 rifles are carried by several mujaheddin, and is most clearly seen when the paratroopers ambush a group of rebels in the film's introduction.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
A Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle is seen in hands of a mujaheddin.
Assault Rifles
AKS-74
The AKS-74 is the standard weapon of the Soviet paratroopers, notably St. Lt. Steklov (Filipp Yankovskiy), Sgt. Arsenyov (Aleksey Serebryakov), Pvts. Ivanov (Artur Uvarov), Popov (Rinat Ibragimov) and Sedykh (Sergei Isavnin). Some of the rifles are fitted with GP-25 grenade launchers. Most of the rifles have two magazines taped "jungle-style" with blue electrical tape, a common practice among Soviet and Russian soldiers.
AKS-74U
A Soviet tank crew member fires an AKS-74U when a convoy is ambushed by the mujaheddin, wounding one of the fighters who is promptly crushed by the tank.
AKMS
AKMS rifles are commonly used by the Soviet paratroopers in conjunction with the AKS-74, with most having orange bakelite magazines taped together "jungle-style". Major Bandura (Michele Placido), the leader of the airborne unit, carries an AKMS with a 75-round RPK drum magazine throughout much of the film, before switching to standard metal magazines during the finale.
AKM
AKM rifles are occasionally seen in the hands of Soviet troops and Afghan mujaheddin, most notably during a scene when a crate of the rifles is given by the Soviets to a local warlord Adil (Muso Isoyev).
Norinco Type 56
Some of the mujaheddin are armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles with under-folding bayonets, which is realistic considering many fighters in real life were supplied with Chinese weapons. A Type 56 with a broken handguard, fixed with a blue electric type, is a personal weapon of Gulakhan's son (Kiem Yakub) who uses his gun in the final scene.
AIM
What appear to be a Romanian AIM, identified by its typical foregrip, is seen in hands of a mujaheddin.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
Adil (Muso Isoyev) carries a Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifle (possibly a Pakistani licensed copy G3P3). A G3 is also seen in hands of another mujaheddin but it is probably the same movie prop, reused in another scene.
