The standard assault rifle of the People's Liberation Army Ground Force (PLAGF) in the film appears to be the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], visually modified with the addition of plastic furniture and [[AK-74]]-style muzzle brakes to resemble the [[AK-47#AK-103|AK-103]]. This is an error since the Chinese no longer have any Kalashnikov-style rifles (including the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] and [[Norinco Type 81]]) in frontline service, but currently use [[Norinco QB rifle series#Norinco QBZ-95|Norinco QBZ-95]] and [[Norinco QB rifle series#Norinco QBZ-03|QBZ-03]] rifles.
The standard assault rifle of the Korean Peoples Army (KPA) in the film appears to be the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], visually modified with the addition of plastic furniture and [[AK-74]]-style muzzle brakes to resemble the [[AK-47#AK-103|AK-103]]. .
 
DSC: The soldiers in the movie might be rear-guard troops, in which case they'd probably have second-hand weapons.
 
On the other hand, the invading soldiers have been changed from Chinese to North Korean, so they would still have Kalashnikov type weapons.
