Most directors don't really care what guns are used unless he's Mann. A majority of the time, guns and weapons in general are the last thing on anyone's mind.

True, but I imagine that if the armorer went to the director and asked, "What guns should the Chicoms have - modernized AKs, or futuristic bullpup Type 95/97s?", the director would probably think to himself, "Hmmm, Reds = AKs" and choose the AK-103s.

It's a tendency of people to use mental shortcuts like that, after all.

I still think the director most likely doesn't care as long as they are using a weapon that best represent Communism and what better weapon than an AK, but it would have been better if they somehow managed to squeeze in QBZs or try to mock some up
