Talk:AK-47

"The model of AK-47 used in Metal Gear Solid 3 is actually the AKM, a modernized variant of the AK-47 appearing in 1959. It is lighter than the original model of AK-47 and is more easily mass-produced; in fact, the AKM is actually more common than the original AK-47."

Is there any reference to this claim? 'Cause I've never heard this anywhere before.
