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.

AK74
Used by almost all Soviet and Duhki.
AK74 & GP30 launcher
Used by several of the main characters including Lt. Pogrebnyak
File:Http://www.russiablog.org/9thPlatoonAmbushed.jpg 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
PK machine gun
Several 9th Company soldiers use the PKM: Chugainov is given Samyilin's old gun, which was disfigured by a hand grenade explosion. He can be seen in on scene trying to sight it to fire at a rock 3m away. One of the main characters grab's his PKM's barrel to bash a Duhki with it, receiving 3rd degree burns. The main character picks up the previous character's PKM after he is killed and uses in the scene after Sparrow's suicide.
