If you've got two guys with AK-47s standing behind you, do you get a choice in the matter? Even if they aren't standing behind, the implication is that they are there when a despot comes to you for an app.

I know it sounds technical to use such a precise level of designation, but there are very very few AK-47s in circulation. Their production ended in 1959.
As with any domain of knowledge it's best to dither to a lesser degree of precision if you're not an expert. 'Two guys with rifles'.

Wow. This is the level of discourse you are bringing? Believe it or not, I chose the AK-47 specifically for the visual it brings to mind and the fact that most people recognize it and its distinctive shape. That it may be a cheap Chinese knock off is immaterial.
Maybe the early release was civil disobedience.
