NVA troops training in the North. The collar rank insignia of the main figure denotes a private 1st class. He is armed with a 7.62mm PPSh-41 (Type 50) submachine gun, a weapon little seen in the South.

Pistols were little used other than as a sign of office for commanders. The most common was the Soviet 7.62 × 25mm Tokarev TT-33 (Type 51 and 54). The Soviet 9mm Makarov PM (Type 59) was extremely rare. It is often said that the Makarov was only issued to senior officers, but this was not always the case. Both pistols had eight-round magazines. Captured US .45-cal. M1911A1 pistols, what they called a 12mm, were valued prizes.
