5 Days of War is based on true events. This intense film is a vivid account of a renegade American journalist, his cameraman and a local woman caught behind enemy lines and determined to not only survive, but tell the world what was happening during the swift but devastating 5-day war between Russian and the Georgian Republic in 2008.
The following guns can be seen in the movie 5 Days of War:
Rifles
AKM
The AKM is the standard-issue weapon for Russian troops and hired mercenaries, although the AK-74 would make more sense, at least for the non-PMC grunts, although the AKM was used (in limited numbers) during the war. At least one Egyptian Maadi ARM is seen during a firefight between Georgians and Russians. Iraqi Insurgents in the prologue also carry AKM's.
AKMS
The main weapon of Georgian Army troops, including Cpt. Rezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech), is the AKMS. Almost all of the AKMS rifles are fitted with GP-25 grenade launchers. They also make an appearance, although in smaller numbers, amongst the hired guns.
SVD Dragunov
Mercenary leader Daniil (Mikko Nousiainen) uses an SVD Dragunov briefly in the film.
