I don't think it is a Type 88. The only Type 88s around are in North Korea, which I don't think they would be handing out to a film that made it look bad. There are 5.45mm steel magazines for the AK around, like this: http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/ak74_mag_guide.html So I think it's just a mocked up AK74 to look like a North Korean Type 88.

:You're correct.  That is quite obviously a Chinese Type 56-1 rifle (not an AK-74; the magazine is too curved for 5.45x39mm) mocked up to look like a DPRK Type 88 rifle.  Some anonymous user changed it without our permission, because he apparently didn't stop to consider what you said.  But you're right; there's no way that that's a genuine Type 88 rifle.  North Korea, unlike the Chinese, has never exported its weapons for Western consumers, so there's no way that the movie's armorers could have access to a Type 88. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

"Type 88"

I don't think it is a Type 88. The only Type 88s around are in North Korea, which I don't think they would be handing out to a film that made it look bad. There are 5.45mm steel magazines for the AK around, like this: http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/ak74_mag_guide.html So I think it's just a mocked up AK74 to look like a North Korean Type 88.

You're correct. That is quite obviously a Chinese Type 56-1 rifle (not an AK-74; the magazine is too curved for 5.45x39mm) mocked up to look like a DPRK Type 88 rifle. Some anonymous user changed it without our permission, because he apparently didn't stop to consider what you said. But you're right; there's no way that that's a genuine Type 88 rifle. North Korea, unlike the Chinese, has never exported its weapons for Western consumers, so there's no way that the movie's armorers could have access to a Type 88. -MT2008
