Hi everyone, I am a filmmaker based in Kathmandu, Nepal. We are currently in the pre-production phase of a feature length film entitled 'The Whole Timers'. The film deals with the decade long Maoist revolution (1996 - 2006) that happened in Nepal.
Since the film deals with a lot of battles between the rebelling guerrillas and the Royal Nepal army, I have a lot of queries regarding the weapons used at that time. Besides a limited cache of arm and ammunition bought from neighboring countries, the primary source of the weapons used by the guerrillas were the State Police and Army themselves. The Maoists initially opted to use the 'hit & run' tactic to ambush Police/Army forces to loot weapons and supplies. Gradually the rebelling guerrillas amassed a lot of weapons and built a strong army which later attacked barracks as well.
We are hoping to use Airsoft replicas that will match the actual weapons used at that time.
We've already done the basic job of knowing the basic models. However, every weapon has so many variants that it's becoming a little confusing for us. I was hoping that 'experts' in this area could help me with pin-pointing the exact models so that we have a clear starting point.
Is anyone up for something like this ?
Thanks in advance.
