5 Days of War (2011)

5 Days of War is a 2011 movie about the 2008 South Ossetia War. Directed by Renny Harlin, it tells the story of an American Reporter and his British Cameraman as they are caught in the front lines of the conflict between Russia and Georgia. After they are caught filming war crimes committed by Russian Hired Guns, they become the target of a Russian Colonel and a thuggish mercenary. With the help of a local women and a sympathetic Georgian Army officer who saved their lives in Iraq, they become determined to put out word of the atrocities, but are beset by pursuing forces and global apathy.

The following guns can be seen in the movie 5 Days of War:


Rifles

AKM

The AKM is the standard-issue weapon for Russian troops and hired mercenaries, although the AK-74 would make more sense, at least for the non-PMC grunts, although the AKM was used (in limited numbers) during the war. At least one Egyptian Maadi ARM is seen during a firefight between Georgians and Russians. Iraqi Insurgents in the prologue also carry AKM's.

Maadi ARM - most of the AKMs seen in movies during the 1980s were imported ARMs that were legally converted to full auto fire. This image is of an actual movie gun. The laminated buttstock was replaced with a hardwood one when the original stock was broken during a stunt. This example is also loaded with a 30-round bakelite plastic magazine - 7.62x39mm

A mercenary is gunned down. His rifle is distinguished as a Maadi ARM by the buttstock and the model of the magazine.

AKMS

The main weapon of Georgian Army troops, including Cpt. Rezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech), is the AKMS. Almost all of the AKMS rifles are fitted with GP-25 grenade launchers. They also make an appearance, although in smaller numbers, amongst the hired guns.

The NSV Heavy Machine Gun is mounted by the commander's post on Russian and Georgian T-72 tanks. It is not fired in the movie.

Tripod-mounted NSV heavy machine gun with ammo box and belt - 12.7x107mm. Compare to the Kord heavy machine gun; note lack of bipod support and older stock with pistol grip underneath the receiver.

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K

The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K is mounted on Mi-24P Hind-F gunships used by both the Georgian and Russian Armies. Whilst most of the Hinds only use their rockets, one can be seen firing the GSh-30-2K on a column of refugees.

Sidearms

Beretta 92FS

Cpt. Rezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech) and Daniil (Mikko Nousiainen) carry the Beretta 92FS pistol, although it would probably make more sense for them both to be wielding the Makarov PM.

RPG-26

Georgian and Russian forces use the RPG-26, as well as one of the Iraqi Insurgents. It is notably used by Cpt. Rezo Avaliani (Johnathon Schaech) to shoot down an Mi-24P Hind-F gunship.
