Why no AK-74s in western film armories?

Now who wouldn't wanna see the Duke dual-wielding a Single Action Army and an AK-74?

In all seriousness, I should have said "American film armories" instead of "western film armories" (by "western", I meant our side of the former Iron Curtain, not the wild west), as that's what I was asking about. But Nyles and MT make a good point about 5.45mm blanks and the reason why they wouldn't be used as often. I've never actually sought out to buy any 5.45mm ammo, so I wasn't aware it's hard to find in the States.

I also read MPM's post on the GoldenEye talk page and it made a lot of sense. I wish there were more directors that cared about the guns.
