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

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".
