The firearms that were seen in the 2007 movie The Kite Runner include the following...
Norinco Type 56 assault rifle
Used by the Taliban in Afghanistan. A number of Red Army soldiers were also seen armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles (without the folding bayonet attached) during the scenes dealing with the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Since most of the scenes for Kabul and Afghanistan was filmed in Kashghar, China; the production crew didn't have access to genuine Russian-made Kalashnikov rifles and had to use Chinese ones instead.
Chinese Type 56 SKS carbine
Seen slung over the shoulders of Taliban guards at a public execution of adulterers.
