A thread on made-in-Vietnam firearms (updated occasionally)

Medias used in the thread come from multiple sources
1/ GK-1 and GK-3 assault rifles (modified Gali Ace 31 and 32). They could accept OPL40 40mm grenade launchers (M203 clones that feature GP30-style triggers.

The charging handle is now on the right (like classic Kalashnikov rifles).
2/ It's noteworthy that OPL40 could pivot to the side to facilitate loading.
3/ Lee Enfield? Sure look like one but it's called 4MK4. By the look of it, 4MK4 is chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. However, the site that posts these photos claims that the rifle is actually chambered in 7.62×54mmR.
SPL40 (reverse-engineered M79). The design is old but conscripts of Vietnam People Army still love it 😁
5/ One is not enough? How about six?

SPL40L is a copy of South African Milkor which uses a revolving chamber with six 40mm grenades.

The stock is adjustable to compensate for the trajectories of the grenades.
6/ SN9S (Makarov PM) and K-14VN (Tokarev)

Standard sidearms of Vietnam People Army.
For those that want to know more about K-14VN https://twitter.com/AnnQuann/status/1231599337190223874
