Interesting Article with details of what each side is using for small arms

.....Civilian components — bought in gun stores or over the Internet — are popular with soldiers on both sides. Add-ons include custom scopes, silencers and cosmetic features and “reflect a global fashion trend driven by the firearms industry in the West".........A few separatist fighters even carry bolt-action Mosin-Nagant rifles............Another Ukrainian soldier fighting in the east had a $589 Zombie Stopper scope – “guaranteed to help you kill zombies deader,” according to its manufacturer’s claims.

Well they have Zombie stopper scopes, what else should they need.

On a more serious note I really hope this conflict isn't a preview of our countries future.

God help us if we have to use Zombie Stomper halo sights. Ukraine pushing for inclusion in NATO will make 2015 interesting to see.
