I think the Burmese private armies are better equipped, because of international oversight and non-recognition, they could smuggle in arms from everywhere. Norinco isn't helping by funnelling arms to any faction that could pay them.
I heard semi-confirmed rumours that STK was selling the SAR-21 to one of the factions in Myanmar, under the cover of radar though. That'd certainly be the biggest joke if they are attempting to fight a conflict with that weapon.
