9th Company: Roots of Terror is a 2008 action-oriented real-time strategy game based on the 2005 Russian film The 9th Company. The game, just like the film, loosely follows actual events that took place on Hill 3234 during Operation Magistral, in the Soviet-Afghan war. The game displays footage from the film and features playable characters from the film as well.
Handguns
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM pistol is used in-game by the Mujahideen and by Soviet soldiers. Strangely enough, it appears to be a commercial imported Makarov by Baikal, called the IJ-70. It features an adjustable rear sight, not seen on the military Makarov pistol. Also the finish is inferior to the original Makarov PM. In-game, this can be appreciated when looking at the HUD icon of the Makarov PM.
Stechkin APS
The Stechkin APS is used in-game by Soviet troops and Soviet special forces.
Assault Rifles
AK-47
A Type II AK-47 is displayed on the French edition, on the CD artwork.
AKS-74
The AKS-74 rifle (alongside optional BG-15 grenade launchers) is used by the Soviet Afghan National Army and by the Mujahideen. It is depicted in a "jungle-style" taped-together magazine configuration, thus the ammo supply it carries adds up to a total of 60-rounds. The AKS-74 also features heavily on different covers for the game.
AKS-74U
The AKS-74U is used by Soviet infantry and tank crews.
M16A2
The M16A2 rifle is used by Mujahideen forces, despite the fact that the US never issued M16A2s to the Mujahideen (who used instead Soviet and Chinese rifles like AKMs and Type 56s, respectively).
