AK-74M

DShK Heavy Machine Gun

A DShK heavy machine gun can be seen mounted on a T-55 tank that Kim Jong-Un (Randall Park) shows off to the protagonists. Movie claims the tank was "a gift from Stalin" despite the fact that earliest T-55 model entered production in 1958, and the starring T-55A entering in 1961, nine years after Stalin's death, and well into the process of de-Stalinization within the Soviet Union. T-55A used in the movie in fact belongs to the 1966 ZTS-Martin production from Czechoslovakia and currently resides in the collection of the Chilliwack Military Education Centre.
