People's Liberation and Resistance

The People's Liberation and Resistance, commonly abbreviated to PLR, is a fictional paramilitary insurgent group based largely in the Middle East, although with contacts in the Western world.

Battlefield 3
In Battlefield 3, the PLR fights against United States Marines and Russian Spetsnaz. They work hand-in-hand with the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran following a coup in which Faruk Al-Bashir, sympathetic to their cause, takes control. Thus, one of their more common weapons is the Iran-made KH2002, while those outside of Iran use a less-standardized menagerie of weapons.

They successfully detonate a nuclear weapon in Paris, France, which implicates Russia as the perpetrator, thus sending the two superpowers into a state of war.

Weapons used
The PLR uses a variety of infantry weapons such as assault rifles, belt-fed light machine guns, rocket launchers, shotguns and a .50 caliber sniper rifle.
