I just bought sets of Chinese Korean War soldiers, and I noticed they are equipped with Soviet weapons. But I read that when the Chinese first itnervened in 1950, the soldiers were poorly equipped with old American and Japanese rifles and stick grenades, and only one soldier in three actually had rifles. Did Dragon goof, or did the Chinese soldiers receive Soviet weapons later on in the war?

Also, what colors can I get away with for the uniforms, which are described as "olive khaki"? Thanks.

I am not an expert, but the chinese were equipped with soviet weapons toward the end of the war. Im not sure when the troops recieved them, though.
