DShK heavy machine gun
The standard Soviet heavy machinegun for almost 50 years it is shown, primarily, in the anti-aircraft configuration. This weapon is also prominent on the cover of the book on which this film is based showing the real Charlie Wilson firing one off at a refugee camp on the Afghan/Pakistani border.
Note: that is the real Charlie Wilson firing a DshK.
YAK-B 12.7mm Machinegun
This four barreled Russian machinegun was/is the standard armament on the later model Hind gunships. It is unique in the world of "gatling-style" weapons in that it does not require electrical power to function. It was subsequently replaced by light 20mm and 30mm cannon.
FIM-92 Stinger
FIM-92 Stinger Rocket Launcher is used by a Afghanistan soldier to shoot down a Soviet Mi-24 helicopter.
