Due to its informal nature the Taliban uses a variety of weapons, the most iconic of which is perhaps Kalashnikov's automatic rifle model of year 1947(AK-47). Along with various other pieces of equipment from the former Soviet Union including later AK models and the Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG).
They are also notorious for the use of IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device) that may be constructed from anything and everything, these devices are manufactured to look inconspicuous in order to maximise the damage they cause to American, NATO, UN, and other governmental forces.
The final weapon employed by the Taliban is the martyr. These are in effect individuals that believe that by killing themselves and "infidels" which is sadly anyone that does not agree with them, that they will be allowed to enter heaven. They are usually armed with a small vest type explosive device, but the use of vehicles is not unknown such as cars, buses, and even airplanes. These devices unfortunately are devastatingly effective when detonated and are often supplemented with other materials that act as shrapnel in order to maximize casualties.
