The [[AK-47#AKM|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.

5 Days of War (2011). The plague of random Apaches on this poster does not exactly reflect the movie's actual content.

5 Days of War is a 2011 movie about the 2008 South Ossetia War. Directed by Renny Harlin, the film depicts an American reporter and his British cameraman caught on the front lines of Russia's invasion of Georgia. After they are caught filming war crimes committed by pro-Russian militias, they become the target of a Russian officer and his thuggish mercenary. With the help of a local woman and the Georgian security forces, they become determined to publish the atrocities, but are beset by the conflict and global apathy. The film was produced in Georgia with the support of the Georgian government, which lent soldiers, vehicles and aircraft for the production.


The following weapons were used in the film 5 Days of War:


Rifles

AKM

The AKM is the standard-issue weapon for Russian troops and hired mercenaries, although most of the combatants on both sides were armed with the AK-74 during the conflict. Iraqi insurgents in the prologue also carry AKMs.

Highlight for Spoilers: The conscript, disgusted by the atrocities, kills Daniil and saves Anders.

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.
