9th Company (9 POTA) is a 2005 Russian language film about a group of Soviet vets in the mountains of Afghanistan, during the Afghan-Russo War (1979-1989). The story deals with idealistic young soldiers who are fighting a desperate battle against the Mudjahideen fighters (who are increasingly supplied by the U.S.A. for weapons).
The weapons seen in this movie are:
AK47
AK74 & GP30 launcher
The GP-30 under barrel grenade launcher is intended for destroying manpower in open country or in uncovered trenches/foxholes, as well as on reverse slopes by direct and indirect fire, using the VOG-25 and VOG-25P caseless fragmentation rounds.
Being muzzle-loaded, the GP-30 enables to increase practical rate of fire 2-3 times compared with the US 40mm M203. The trigger mechanism is of double action.
The grenade launcher comes equipped with a leaf sight, which is used to correct grenade drift. Unlike the GP-25, the sight is mounted on the right side and requires no range adjustment. The grenade launcher can also fire non-lethal rounds
