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 Mujahideen fighters.
The weapons seen in this movie are:

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 Mujahideen 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.
