@CunniffS45212 Well, seeing as the terminology isn't an official one and actually originates in the part of the world that we cover... we all think that you need to, as you have no clue. P.S. don't comment when you have no knowledge so you don't look stupid.

Here, we see an AKM or AKMS shortened to "Krinkov" form, and an AKM (Russian/Romanian) with Romanian/Polish wire side folding stock, in the hands of a Kashmiri fighter. These are commonplace and widely fielded in Kashmir.

Falcon Squad (FS JK) shares photo/video of heavy munitions not seen before in Kashmiri separatist orgs. hands. Captures? Or are have they got their hands on heavy-machine-guns?
News Desk 🪖🍁@NewsDeskX

The Falcon Squad shares video and photographs of a Soviet 23×115mm Autocannon round, alongside 12.7×108mm, 12.7×99mm (.50 BMG), and standard 7.62×39 + 5.56×45mm ammunition. It could signal captures from Indian stocks, or them fielding platforms chambered in these calibres.

Note: The proliferation of arms from Afghanistan during both Soviet and US/Allies' invasions supplied the Kashmiri militant resistance movement for decades, to even now. We've noted that arms from Pakistans black-markets have also made their way over, too, just like the pistols.
