Georgian forced were heavily under equiped, you would be lucky if you got gear such as helmet or vest, most Georgians went into fight with non combat clothing and a simple bad to carry their ammo
On other side Abkhazs were far better equiped and trained than Georgians, they mostly had fancy gear such as armor, vest, pouches, helmets and they also commonly had those green thing around their head i dunno what its called

Well, very typical for 90s conflicts, not just in Georgia and also not just in that particular region.

Whatever was considered regular army or 'professionals' back then was a negligably small force. Maybe 5000 men who were somewhat professionaly trained by Russian troops and Soviet-Georgian veterans, but mostly internal forces, and somewhat decently equipped meant that half of them were relatively uniformely equipped, the other half not so much.

The vast majority was really badly trained ( or not at all ) like below subpar ad hoc militia and their 'equipment' was insulting even for the standarts of those days.

Those short barrel DP 28s were very common sights on both sides during Civil war
Even during 2008 war Abkhaz rebels were sighted using DP 28s
