The [[FN FAL]] is seen carried by General Zateb Kazim's armored troops during the final battle (in addition to the plethora of [[AK-47]] type rifles). They look to be the solid metric style front sight block, however the barrels seem shorter than usual, so the exact model is unknown, but they appear to be metric FALs.

==Romanian WASR-3==
*  Used by a Mali sniper with a scope, but later commandeered by Al Giordino ([[Steve Zahn]]).
+
It appears that Al Giordino's rifle during a desert battle is a Romanian WASR-3 rifle built at the ''S.C. Uzinele Mecanice Cugir S.A.'' (Cugir Factory) in Romania. The weapon probably came from a foreign armory, but for the purposes of identification, the U.S. version of the Romanian .223 AK will be identified. The Romanians exported a series of three AK type rifles called the SAR series.

:''The SAR-1 was 7.62x39mm, the SAR-2 was 5.45x39mm and the SAR-3 was 5.56x45mm. Then a later variant was imported, the WASR. The WASR was essentially the same firearm, but with a lower grade of fit and finish ''(The original WASRs were imported to take only single-stack magazines (to please BATF) and the wholesalers opened up the mag well to take standard magazines and replaced some of the parts with U.S.-made parts to make them legal)''. Like the SAR series, the WASR-1 was 7.62x39mm, the WASR-2 was 5.45x39mm and the WASR-3 was 5.56x45mm. However, the SAR-3 rifle has the original AK-74 style gas block, the WASR-3 has a modified AKM style gas block and blonde wood. Both the SAR-3 and the WASR-3 take the ROMAK 223 magazine (Wieger style). This rifle is set up with the Wieger style magazine. Al Giordino's rifle is a WASR-3 (or the European equivalent) and of course, '''his''' is fully automatic. It looks to be the same rifle used in the movie ''[[Casino Royale (2006)|Casino Royale]]'' since ''Sascha Robey'' was the armorer for both movies.''

+
==Civil War Rifles==
Al's rifle during a desert battle is a Norinco Type 84 .223 AK Rifle. The reciever cover has been replaced with an AKM ribbed type instead of smooth chinese types similair to older AKs. The furniture is blonde aftermarket. A similair rifle appears in [[Casino Royale]] used by the militia soldiers.
+
Seen in the historical flashback sequence at the beginning of the film, many rifles are seen from a distance, but it is hard to identify them since the battle is at night and the only time we see long rifles, the soldiers holding them being blown up by cannon fire.

[[Image:Sahara-UnionSoldierA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Union soldier holds a rifle while running from cannon fire from the CSS Texas.]]
  
Note: this is NOT a Type 84.  Type 84s are blued, this is painted black, the magazine is completely different (it just just like the ROMAK 223 magazine) and the front sight is a European pattern, NOT the Chinese hooded front sight.

==Unknown Pump-Action Shotgun==

When Kazim's troops are mobilizing, a soldier walks by carrying a pump-action shotgun of a yet undetermined make and model.
 +
[[Image:Saharashotgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A soldier in the background has an unknown shotgun.]]
  
:Look at the third screenshot of him leaning over the rifle - that is clearly a hooded front sight. I have never seen a European AK that has that; Chinese AKs (and the Iranian license-built copies of them) are the only ones with that style sight. As far as the magazine goes, Type 84s can take Romak-style magazines. Here's a picture of one:

:The finish is suspicious, but if they went to the trouble of replacing the receiver cover and furniture, maybe they could have re-finished it as well. Or maybe this is some Franken-Kalash variant. But the front sight is definitely Chinese style, so I'm guessing a Type 84 was still the base gun.
+
==PKM==
 +
Kazim's soldiers are seen holding [[PKM]] machine guns.

 +
[[Image:Saharapk.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A soldier walking past Yves Massarde has a PKM.]]
  
::I don't agree. The front sight is OPEN not the chinese closed hooded sight. I've look at it from several angles and it is an AKM open sight. Also check your PMs. I listed several other strong points which indicate that it is NOT a Type 84 nor ever was. The irrefutable proof is the front sight (which is an AKM style) and the fact that you can't see the 2nd notch hole that would be on the barrel if it originally had a type 84 sight and the gas block (which has metal pieces indicating that the front sling swivel is attached), this gun does not.
+
==Browning M2HB==
 +
The [[Browning M2HB]] is mounted on the APCs used by Kazim's armored troops.

To clarify my remarks (which might be hard to follow being that I'm not the best typist) I have included an image which details what I was discussing. I ran out and took a  closeup shot of one of the Type 84s in inventory. Many of these were 'converted' to resemble AK74s back in the day and haven't been configured back to original spec yet. Notice how the finely machine and blued finish of the original Type 84 contrasts with the 'rough' machined and spray painted AKM replacement front sight. After the 1980s, the fit and finish of AK and SKS guns just went down the tubes, IMHO.
+
==M60D==
 +
The [[M60D]] is mounted on top of Kazim's tanks.
 +

 +
[[Image:Saharam602.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of M60Ds mounted on the M60 Patton tank.]]
  
Anyway, you can see the 'notch' in the barrel for the pin used to lock down the back half of the Chinese Front Sight. If they converted a Type 84, the notch would be there since all Type 84s were shipped with original Chinese Front Sights. Also note the differences in the Gas block.

He's right, if you look real close, that sight isn't hooded. Someone needs to properly classify this gun. Try to delete all these argumental facts if possible. I'm afriad I don't know enough about Roman AKs to help out.

AKM

Mixed in amongst the AK-47 rifles are AKMs, many of which are modified with 'tribal' decorations.

A nice 'rubber stunt' AKM with Tuareg decorations. Note that the rubber cast wooden buttstock has the bloodgroove of the AK-74 but the rifle is cast from a 7.62x39mm gun.

FN FAL

The FN FAL is seen carried by General Zateb Kazim's armored troops during the final battle (in addition to the plethora of AK-47 type rifles). They look to be the solid metric style front sight block, however the barrels seem shorter than usual, so the exact model is unknown, but they appear to be metric FALs.

L1A1

The L1A1 with a scope is used by a Mali sniper, but later commandeered by Al Giordino (Steve Zahn).

Romanian WASR-3

It appears that Al Giordino's rifle during a desert battle is a Romanian WASR-3 rifle built at the S.C. Uzinele Mecanice Cugir S.A. (Cugir Factory) in Romania. The weapon probably came from a foreign armory, but for the purposes of identification, the U.S. version of the Romanian .223 AK will be identified. The Romanians exported a series of three AK type rifles called the SAR series.

The SAR-1 was 7.62x39mm, the SAR-2 was 5.45x39mm and the SAR-3 was 5.56x45mm. Then a later variant was imported, the WASR. The WASR was essentially the same firearm, but with a lower grade of fit and finish (The original WASRs were imported to take only single-stack magazines (to please BATF) and the wholesalers opened up the mag well to take standard magazines and replaced some of the parts with U.S.-made parts to make them legal). Like the SAR series, the WASR-1 was 7.62x39mm, the WASR-2 was 5.45x39mm and the WASR-3 was 5.56x45mm. However, the SAR-3 rifle has the original AK-74 style gas block, the WASR-3 has a modified AKM style gas block and blonde wood. Both the SAR-3 and the WASR-3 take the ROMAK 223 magazine (Wieger style). This rifle is set up with the Wieger style magazine. Al Giordino's rifle is a WASR-3 (or the European equivalent) and of course, his is fully automatic. It looks to be the same rifle used in the movie Casino Royale since Sascha Robey was the armorer for both movies.

Civil War Rifles

Seen in the historical flashback sequence at the beginning of the film, many rifles are seen from a distance, but it is hard to identify them since the battle is at night and the only time we see long rifles, the soldiers holding them being blown up by cannon fire.
