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.
Machine Guns
PKP Pecheneg
The PKP Pecheneg is mounted on Georgian Army Humvees in the film, most notably in the prologue when Cpt. Avaliani's forces come to the rescue of the besieged reporters.
KPVT Heavy Machine Gun
The KPVT Heavy Machine Gun makes an appearance mounted on Russian BTR-80's.
NSV Heavy Machine Gun
The NSV Heavy Machine Gun is mounted by the commander's post on Russian and Georgian T-72 tanks. It is not fired in the movie.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K
The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K is mounted on Mi-24P Hind-F gunships used by both the Georgian and Russian Armies. Whilst most of the Hinds only use their rockets, one can be seen firing the GSh-30-2K on a column of refugees.
Sidearms
Beretta 92FS
Cpt. Kezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech) and Daniil (Mikko Nousiainen) carry the Beretta 92FS pistol, although it would probably make more sense for them both to be wielding the Makarov PM.
Launchers
GP-25 Grenade Launcher
The GP-25 is mounted on almost every AKMS rifle used by the Georgians, although never used independently from the rifle.
RPG-26
Georgian and Russian forces use the RPG-26, as well as one of the Iraqi Insurgents. It is notably used by Cpt. Kezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech) to shoot down an Mi-24P Hind-F gunship.
