5 Days of War (2011). The plague of random Apaches on this poster does not exactly reflect the movie's actual content.

5 Days of War is a 2011 movie about the 2008 South Ossetia War. Directed by Renny Harlin, the film depicts an American reporter and his British cameraman caught on the front lines of Russia's invasion of Georgia. After they are caught filming war crimes committed by pro-Russian militias, they become the target of a Russian officer and his thuggish mercenary. With the help of a local woman and the Georgian security forces, they become determined to publish the atrocities, but are beset by the conflict and global apathy. The film was produced in Georgia with the support of the Georgian government, which lent soldiers, vehicles and aircraft for the production.


The following weapons were used in the film 5 Days of War:


Rifles

AKM

The AKM is the standard-issue weapon for Russian troops and hired mercenaries, although most of the combatants on both sides were armed with the AK-74 during the conflict. Iraqi insurgents in the prologue also carry AKMs.

The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K is mounted on Mi-24P Hind-F gunships used by both the Georgian and Russian Armies. Whilst most of the Hinds only use their rockets, one can be seen firing the GSh-30-2K on a column of refugees.

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

Cpt. Rezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech) and Daniil (Mikko Nousiainen) carry the Beretta 92FS pistol, although it would probably make more sense for them both to be wielding the Makarov PM.
