AK-Style Assault Rifle

During the night battle many North Vietnamese soldiers are armed with AK-style rifles. They aren't seen clear enough to identify the exact model. Where the gun is seen best, the magazine looks strangely slim, similar to Adler-Jäger AP-80, but it can be only an illusion (and in fact AP-80 didn't exist in 1978).

An AK is seen against the blasing fire.

Mosin Nagant Rifle

What appear to be Mosin Nagant Rifles are seen in hands of North Vietnamese soldiers.
