Codys taking a bit of a break hidden away while out with Cleo keeping him covered.
This image he requested based off of a photograph of a person sitting in Cleo's position. I expanded on the image to incorporate Cody at the bottom resting, yet still not off his guard. I know that their outfits and weaponry isn't exact and Codys might not be what is used, but he requested his gun so I added it for him.
Both are actual military furs, and wonderful people. X

Note: The quality is a bit shot after I had to size it down. The original is massive.

I believe that's an SKS, given the squarish receiver and that very specific type of bayonet lug toward the end of the barrel.
Which is really a good sign for the artist that I can make out that kind of detail. I've seen a few SKS's in new stocks with the bayonets removed, looks like one there.

And you'd be correct. Yugo M59/66 SKS as found here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9414112/ with the bayonet still installed.
The SKS was the first gun to use 7.62x39, the round popularized by the AK-47, but it's semiautomatic and intended to be loaded from stripper clips.
So it's somewhere between a battle rifle and a carbine, but definitely not an assault rifle and probably not a DMR given it's not the most accurate gun at range.
It's in that weird period before assault rifles, but after bolt guns around the tail end of World War 2. And since it was made after, it never really saw major combat deployment, and was mostly used as a ceremonial rifle due to it's more elegant, old fashioned construction.

Shockingly similar to: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb.....screen_MW2.png
Looks like a pair of M-14's. I'm no expert, but I believe they've mostly fallen out of service, though they're still in use as a Designated Marksman Rifle, which most people think of as a "sniper." It fits this picture really well - It seems to me that they're standing guard from some kind of elevated palce, and a DMR would be just about perfect for that.
It's damned good art, regardless of the rifles, though.

The other's a modified SKS. The whole sniper/DMR confusion generally comes from the Russians, who invented the concept of a Designated Marksman to go along with the first mass produced sniper rifle, the Dragunov, which essentially served both functions for the Soviets.
I saw a Dragunov recently at a collector's show, you can still get the rifles but the famous PSO-1 scopes are no longer imported. Which is unfortunate because, having had a look through one, they're beautiful optics.

I was actually never too fond of the dragonov or the talbuk, hell, even the SKS was a shitty weapon found in the field. If you found one, it was generally in the cold, clintched hands of an enemy combatant that had just been firing at you and your boys... Or you found it in the empty firing position after they had engaged you and dumped the weapon to flee unarmed because they know we can't engage unarmed persons that are fleeing.
Over all, they are my most hated weapons...
We even ran into situations where we were getting shot at by 240Bs. So us being us, we were like,"Damn, someone is getting down on that 240.. Hell Yea..." Then we come to realize its inbound enemy fire.. And then we all get pissed... Because we know that weapon was taken off a fallen comrade... So we fight even harder to recover it... If anything to do our fallen comrades justice.

Well, generally if you're referring to pick ups in Iraq or Afghanistan, you're talking about, at best, shitty hand-me-down exported junk that was catastrophically poorly cared for and using shitty local or regional ammo. The Tabuk, especially, was just a beefed up version of a yugoslavian AKM, though I hear it was actually well made due to possible outside advisers. Supposedly the Iraqi's would disdain better made and more accurate guns since they reacted badly to their pitiful maintenance regimens.
Any weapon, poorly maintained and used with poor ammunition will give poor performance. Not to mention the outdated iron sights usually found on Russian style guns are particularly bad if you're coming to it after a modern M16, they've all got multiple outdated features in that fashion. I'd have a poor impression of them as well if my only experience with them was the discarded battlefield trash left behind.
The Middle East is a place where good guns go to die.
