#Afghanistan: Turkistan Islamic Party - #Khurasan Branch (#TIP, ex-#ETIM) released a video of the training of their militants.
Most common weapons are M4(A1)s & M16A4s —which are locally quite common.

2/
M4(A1) carbines & M16A4 rifles can be seen with ACOG scopes, Aimpoint CompM4 scopes, ATN ThOR-HD 384/MARS-HD 384 thermal scopes, 40mm M203 UBGL and Knight's Armament QDSS/NT4 suppressor.

3/
In addition to these; several AKM variants (including both customized and standard rifles) were also used by the militants. Also at least one AKM rifle can be seen with a GP-25 UBGL.

3/
And as heavier weapons, militants used M249 MGs and PKM patterned GPMGs which are also quite common in the region.
Also note the Chinese Type 69 RPG Launcher with Chinese PGO optic sight and OG-7V pattern round.

4/
During the pistol training, at least one militant was shown while using a SW9VE pistol. Also there are some noteable trainings including shooting with a mirror (w/ M16A4) and one-hand shooting/reloading (w/ customized AKM + EOTech style RDS).

5/
And at last, TIP/K spokesperson (Saifullahcan, Former Head of the General Staff) can be seen with a M4(A1) Carbine. The weapon also features a camo paint and Trijicon ACOG scope as well.

6/
As a result, TIP/K's weaponry looks quite standard for the local conditions. Most of the weapons are likely obtained domestically —including NATO weapons as well: Since large number of weapons have been seized by Taliban, their prices have dropped fairly on the black market.

A Quick note;If anything needs to be fixed or added, it will be noted under this thread. Also thanks to @LucasADWebber for reminding the video and @Valle_Riccardo_ for his helps on translations.
