AK-47 is as common with the Pakistani soldiers as the INSAS is with the Indians in the film. Pakistani soldiers are seen firing AK-47 against Indian army soldiers. In real life the Pakistani Army uses the Type 56 and not the Russian made AK-47.
Besides the AK-47, Pakistani soldiers were also seen using the Indian version of the FN FAL, the 1A1 rifle. It should be noted that in real life Pakistani soldiers would be armed with G3A2 rifles built by Pakistan Ordinance Factories (POF) instead of FN FALs.
