> If you've got two guys with AK-47s standing behind you

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'.

> Even after six decades the model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world because of their durability, low production cost, availability, and ease of use.

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.
