Introduction to KPA Infantry Weapons:
The infantry arms of the Korean People's Army has an extremely diverse history. Back in the WWII, the then called Korean People's Revolutionary Army (Anti Japanese Guerrillas) under General KIM IL SUNG uses mainly captured Japanese arms. The Fatherland's Liberation War (Korean War) introduces Russian and Chinese arms alongside with captured Western arms. Today the Korean People's Army produces their own variant of the old Russian and Chinese Arms they used. This is useful of Reenactment and Milsims, as it allows players to use varieties of different replicas. Since there's no official version of DPRK weaponries, Russian AKs and its modifications can be used instead. Since its militias known as the worker's peasant's red guard still uses the old arms, its entirely possible to use even old Western or Japanese arms as an appropriate replica. Below you will find a list of guns. This is by no means a completed list. It merely serves as an introductory guide for arms in regards to a KPA impression.
