Demons of War
|
Demons of War (original: Demony wojny wedlug Goi) is a 1998 Polish war drama set in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after the Bosnian War. In February 1997 commander of a Polish IFOR unit, Major Edward Keller (Boguslaw Linda) is put under investigation for breaking orders and instructions. His company is assigned a new commander, Major Czeslaw Kusz (Tadeusz Huk), who arrives accompanied by combat-unexperienced military prosecutor Lt. Czacki (Olaf Lubaszenko). After arrival of the two, IFOR command receives SOS-signal from downed chopper. Maj. Keller decides to go into action, even though he's ordered to stay.
Polish title refers to Spanish painter Francisco Goya.
The following weapons were used in the movie Demons of War:
Handguns
P-83 Wanad
Lt. Czacki (Olaf Lubaszenko) carries P-83 Wanad as his sidearm.
MAG-95
The mercenary Filip (Christoph Rex-Jarnot) in the final battle for the village pulls at Major Keller a MAG-95 pistol.
Rossi Model 971
Major Keller Boguslaw Linda is equipped with a Rossi Model 971 with a ported barrel.
Machine Pistols
PM-84 Glauberyt
Skija (Slobodan Custic), commander of the separatists is seen with a PM-84 Glauberyt submachine gun.
Assault Rifles
AKS-47
The Kbk AK with folding stock is Polish copy of the AKS-47 rifle. These rifles are used by Polish IFOR soldiers in movie, which is an anachronism as in 1990s all AK(S)-47 in Polish armed forces were replaced by AKM variants (with the only exception of Kbkg wz.60 adapted to fire rifle-grenades). This implies that AKS-47 were used instead of AKMS, which is evidenced by Maj. Keller (Boguslaw Linda) who, in a memorable scene, points out to his soldiers that what they've got are not "water guns but Kbk AKMS".
Serbian separatists are also armed with AKS-47 assault rifles.
Kbs wz. 1996 Beryl
One of the Serbian separatists is seen with an early variant of Kbs wz. 1996 Beryl in hand.

Sniper Rifles
Radom-Hunter
The IFOR sniper "The silent" (Miroslaw Baka) and also a mercenary Filip (Christoph Rex-Jarnot) are seen with Radom-Hunter rifles.
SVD Dragunov
Maj. Keller (Boguslaw Linda) takes over from Sgt. Biniek (Artur Zmijewski) his SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.
Other
KPVT
On IFOR BRDM-2 armored cars have mounted KPVT heavy machine gun.
