The Kite Runner

The firearms that were seen in the 2007 movie The Kite Runner include the following...

Norinco Type 56 assault rifle

Used by the Taliban in Afghanistan. A number of Red Army soldiers were also seen armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles (since the film was made in China, the production crew didn't have access to genuine Russian-made Kalashnikov rifles and had to use Chinese ones instead) during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan
