But you're using "AK-47" as an umbrella term, whereas I was referring to the actual, specific Soviet-made rifle. So no, a Type 56 isn't an AK-47 in this case.

YNH explained this better than I did, so I'll move on.

Another word you're using as an Umbrella term when it's not used as such in the US military. Like calling SEALs, "Special Forces", when Special Forces is a specific unit with unique mission perimeters that the SEALs don't share.
