Tar 21&Galil -> Navy Marines.
AK47/Type56 -> It's old and be replacing by other guns, however, it will be good for exercises of militias or teaching program in normal high schools/universities.
AR-15 appears many times in military parades but I think Special Forces usually uses Uzi Co2 and MP5.

Two French Navy vessels on a mission to train cadets from several countries will visit Vietnam from June 18 to 21.

Helicopter carrier Tonnerre will berth in Vung Tau while the anti-submarine warfare frigate Georges Leygues will visit Ho Chi Minh City, said the French consulate in HCMC in a press release late last week.

The Tonnerre is captained by Colonel Jean-François Quérat, and the Georges Leygues by Lieutenant Colonel Romuald Bomont.

The training of 123 midshipmen from a number of countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam, began in March 2013 and will end in July 2014, according to the release.

The mission will take them to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean and Vietnam's East Seas – also known as the South China Sea.
