==Romanian AK "Romak 223"(??)==
==Norinco Type 84==
* Not 100% sure, but Al's rifle during a desert battle looks to be a Romanian Romak .223 AK Rifle.  However it doesn't have the bulged wooden front hand guards and it has a threaded barrel (indicated by the muzzle nut and muzzle nut pin).  Anyone else knows for sure, please let me know.
Al's rifle during a desert battle is a Norinco Type 84 .223 AK Rifle. The reciever cover has been replaced with an AKM ribbed type instead of smooth chinese types similair to older AKs. The furniture is blonde aftermarket. A similair rifle appears in [[Casino Royale]] used by the militia soldiers.

:Norinco Type 84 in .223. It has the hooded front sight, which makes it a Chinese AK. This one seems to have had its receiver cover replaced by an AKM-style ribbed one (all Chinese AKs usually have older smooth style) and the furniture looks to be after-market as well. This AK (and/or others like it) also appears in ''[[Casino Royale]]''.

Type 56-2 folding stock AK47s, seen on the left in the hands of a Govt. Soldier, on the right in the hands of Matthew McConaughey in an action shot - 7.62x39mm
Is there a 56-2? I thought Norinco Type 56 was with the wood stock and Norinco type 56-1 was with the folding stock.
The Type 56-2 is the version with the side-folding stock, whereas the Type 56-1 is the under-folding version. But those look like 56-1s to me, and that's all I ever remember seeing in the film.

Sterling SMG

  • Seen held by Touareg horsemen in the desert.
