Top/Bottom: Baek-Du-San, North Korean copy of the Czech CZ-75 pistol

Middle/Bottom: Type 73 Machinegun. Indigenous design based on the BREN design ETA: The design of this weapon is based on the Soviet Kalashnikov PK machine gun, with certain indigenous features, including dual (magazine & belt) feed system, patterned after the Czechoslovak Vz.52 LMG.



AK-74 Assault Rifle. Designated as the Type 88 or 98. Looks like hinge folds to the right instead of left like the Soviet version?

The culmination of their indigenous firearm design efforts is to copy an 80 year old gun.

  That's why it has such a pronounced curve,like a 25 round 10/22 mag.

They actually manufacture everything up to Scuds-its where the Paki and Iranian missiles have come from. I'm guessing they had these chromed for aesthetic reasons over a Tokarev or RPD,juche style.

 As for appearance,these guys are wearing winter jackets so they look bigger but aren't typically hollow cheek  gaunt so you know they're politically connected enough to be well fed...on US and ROK aid.

Pretty sure that "bren" you speak of is actually their local variant of the PKM, the Type 79, except it also has a magazine feeding device like the 249 does, though the fact that there is no caliber commonality between the Type79 and '74/Type88 is kinda (anymore at least if that was the original intention).

Its right in the OP. Its a Type 73 Machine gun.

The only Type 79 I can think of is the Chinese Type 79 Submachine Gun.

They also claim to be taken on March 5. 2012.  When the temp was supposed to be 19 degrees in PyoungYang

Not a glove or breath plume to be seen.


They may BE stock photos from the 50's.
