Weapons desired in PR:Vietnam

Wondering how many weapons we can suggest if we have a blitzkrieg suggestion-thread.
Personal desires:
Type 56 (Rifle AND Carbine):
(Orange Cratewood ftw!)
K50M (Perhaps less widely used but would be cool):
Mosin-Nagant Carbines (Most likely M44 and M91/30)
Makarov PM:
Degtyaryov RPD:
I saw a picture of a Vietcong or NVA soldier with a milled receiver RPK, but I can't remember where:
Degtyaryov DP-28
That's all I got for now. If I think of more it'll be here. I'd like to see your opinions.
DEVs: this is partially to gather knowledge. None of this **** has to be added IMO; you could use recycled AK47s with bayonets slapped on them and PPSh's with screwed barrels and no stocks.

Personally I'd LOVE to see the Mosin Nagant in a game other than CoD, And i think it could be specialized into a sniper...? IMO this is of course just a suggestion, and doesnt have to be used, and i doubt it will.

same with the type 56 assault rifle though we better know it as the ak47.

EOD2 had the mosin-nagat as a sniper weapon... it also had an assortment of semi-auto and bolt-action rifles as pure infantry weapons. Chances are, these will be included.
Also had a folding-stock "commando" variant of the m-16, which was ridiculously awesome and something I wouldn't mind seeing again.
while I'm at it:
^This dandy weapon was featured in EOD2 as well, I sure hope they'll include in the PR version

Currently, in the mod are the M16, M14, M60, AK47, SKS along with numerous other rifles and SMG's like PPSH 41, etc. Bascially, the NVA and VC used about any of the Soviet and Chinese weapons they could find. They even used alot of captured French weapons, like the MAT49, etc. You can be assured that if the weapon is already in PR, it is within PR:V.

Type 56 carbine =/= SKS
Type 56 assault rifle =/= AK47
There are numerous differences other than the obvious L/D marking.
Using AK47 would also be unrealistic because China sent a LOT of Type 56 to vietnam.

Like TrahnLee stated, most of the weapons suggested in this thread have already been made either by the EoD team or the PR team. What Im curious about is from what mod these various weapons will come from. For example, both the EoD and PR mods have an m16a1 rifle {the one hamas uses}, but {and no offense to the Eod team they made a great mod} in my opinion the PR m16 looks much better, so I really hope that PR:V uses that model. Ive played both mods extensively and I pretty much feel the same way about any weapons that are in both, that the PR versions look much better and should be in PR:V where feasible. Some weapons are only in the EoD mod, like the RPD. Also, why not just use the AK47s from PR and call them type 56s? Is there any real phyical differences between the two guns?

L(Lian Fa - full auto)/D(Dian She - semi-auto) markings, integrated bayonet on many early versions of full-stock Type 56, Full front sight(circular instead of open-top like most other AK variants), Moved from machined to stamped receiver instead of the other way around on AK47...etc. I remember that type 56 were made with SOLID wood instead of laminated wood to reduce cost, and the color is a bit less "russian-red(not that red...)".
Yeah... a lot of differences that will destroy realism (which PR stands for) if wrongly named.
They integrated-bayonet version should be used because the removable versions were made since mid 1960s and are less probably used for supporting NVA.
Also, folding bayonet = fast draw animation = more probability to get bayonet kills = win.
I would like to do the modeling myself... but I lack skill in modeling department...

The one on top is a type 56, the bottom is a soviet AK. The physical differences are so few I think the most you would have to do is maybe retexture the wood parts. As for the bayonet, doesnt PR already have an AK with bayonet? {the milita uses it I think} I really dont think the differences would garner making a whole new model, that would just delay the release of PR:V even more.

I would have thaught it would be more common sence. If the wepon was used in vietnam and is already ingame, it would be logical to include it in the FIRST release of PR:V

Yeah, I think we could just use the regular AK-47 until a later release of PR:Vietnam but I definitely think the Bayonet and different stock model should be used later on (if you're wondering what I mean by new stock look at these:
