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 an SOS-signal from a downed chopper. Maj. Keller decides to go into action, even though he's ordered to stay.
Polish title refers to Spanish painter Francisco Goya.

Assault Rifles

AKS-47

The Kbk AK with folding stock is a Polish copy of the AKS-47 rifle. These rifles are used by Polish IFOR soldiers in the movie, which is an anachronism as in 1990s all AK(S)-47 in Polish armed forces were replaced by AKM variants (with the sole exception of the Kbkg wz.60 adapted to fire rifle-grenades). This implies that the AKS-47 was used instead of the 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".
Serbian separatists are also armed with AKS-47 assault rifles.
