The First Image is of Saddam Himself carrying what appears to be a Model 1898 derived Mauser It's hard to narrow down exactly which derivative it could be but safe bet is on the Iranian Mauser M1310.

The second Image is of Irainian women who were "recruited" into the Basji perviously known as *Sâzmân-e Basij-e Mostaz'afin (*Organization for Mobilization of the Oppressed). The Basji was paramilitary wing of the revolutionary guard. During the iraq-iran war thousands of men, women and children "Joined" To be thrown into human wave assaults and die. They can be seen carrying G3 rifles.

The Angolan civil war showcases a lot of interesting firearms being used.

I can’t for the life of me identify the rifle grenade on pictures 1-2
Picture three depicts Chinese type 56s being used
Picture 4 depicts Czech VZ58s ????
Picture 5 is some Portuguese troops with an MG42 designated the M/944
Picture 6 is Angolan independence forces with seized G3s
Picture 7 appears to be Portuguese colonial forces with M/948 smgs???
Picture 8 is MPLA preparing an ambush with a German maxim ?
