I was wondering lately about what the Pakistani army used in 1965 war against India. I couldn’t find any sources that were reliable enough or told me the information. Can somebody please tell me? Regards.

Basically wwii/ colonial era rifles and guns. This was true for many militaries around the world at that time:
M1 Garand (US)
Enfield rifle .303
Browning automatic rifle
Sten and bren guns
(List is incomplete)

India was also using the same British stuff

1947 - 1965

500,000 men including army, navy, airforce and Paramilitary forces were split into 36 percent for Pakistan whereas the rest was given to India. This is around 180,000 men. Pakistan also had eight artillery divisions and eight infantry regiments. Pakistan later on increased its army by allying with USA and in 1965 Pakistan had 280,000 men, 280 aircraft, 756 tanks and 552 artillery.
