Both the KGB and CIA are first and foremost national security/intelligence agencies with the KGB also acting as a secret police. They aren't spies and assassins in the way that you're thinking, and can function in operations without the need for such gadgets as the Camera or Briefcase gun. Sure they can also function as spies and assassins in certain cases, but they're still essentially government agents that perform a wide variety of operations with more standard equipment. I mean hell their acronyms being CIA for Central Intelligence Agency and KGB which translates to Comittee for State Security show this pretty well.

The KGB was explicitly a military service, and followed the same regulation and laws as the regular Soviet Army or MVD. Is it really a stretch to consider the possibility that maybe the Soviet government would provide weaponry suitable for operations that don't specifically have to do with spy or assassin work(Like their operations within Afganistan) ? And the CIA while different from the KGB in that it's not really a military service per se, had conducted many operations during the Cold War in which something like the Briefcase Gun would be ineffective( The 1954 Guatemalan coup for example where 480  trained CIA agents assisted the National Liberation Movement overthrow the government).

I'm sure any competent user that gets this battle can easily make the situation suit both of the agencies' MO (modus operandi), and use weaponry that would make sense for both of them, probably even without the spy weaponry if the situation calls for it.
