Cant agree more on the ZB26. This remarkable light CZ machinegun was very popular since WW2 in Asia. But maybe the game designer thought Bren is enough for the Mujahideen. This also brought many realistic case of low ammo problem for the Muj, because of different 7.62 mm balls.

Yeah, mate. Actually, u won't believe there are numbers of FAMAS and M-16/4 family in the bandits hands right now in Afghanistan, but this is what is happening now. CIA admitted that 2-3 million dollar worthing armament flowed into the country when the war was against the Soviets. One stinger costs $38,000 nowadays and maybe the price would around 10k I think. So the MANPAD were probabily not the No.1 killer for the Red Army for its small number of deployment.

After several days playing, I've finished the two original campaigns and several standalone mission. It felt real for most of the time that the game reveals the real combat situation in the 1980's. However, there was some doubts of mine about overwhelming sniper threat from the Mujahideen force. The G3 sniper rifle brought such superior advantage for the bandits and caused some serious casualties. While such problem became harder to solve From the historical resources I've looked, the underground small arms factories were definitely unable to produce this kind of “hi-tech” toys. Although the smuggling from Pakistan may provide Mujahideen some western rifles, the large deployment of these rifles down to each combat group remains some discussions. I also noticed that some sniper groups use SVD. This reflects a more realistic history while large number of Chinese clone version of Soviet weapons in Mujahideens' hands.
