I would think the main reason (among others) they're using AKs is probably because they're recognizable as "bad guy" guns.

But they you have to ask yourself. How would the Chinese transport all their vehicles across the ocean en mass? I know there's transports designed for that sort of thing, but they'd need a lot of them to have a force of tanks and AFVs, etc to match up to what we keep in the US.

As MPM pointed out, legislators don't think to themselves, "Hmmm, how is this going to effect the armorers who supply Hollywood?" when they sign legislation. And since there are only a few dozen armorers working in California (if I recall correctly), they don't have much lobbying power - although there is a group called the AEAA which attempts to fill this niche.

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.

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

I wasn't aware the Chinese had pixelized camo now, I thought they used a camo pattern that resembled a bleached-out version of our old Woodland camo pattern, as seen in Battlefield 2 (which is circa 2005).

Here's an example of the camo used by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Battlefield 2, compared to the above pics:

It's not so much that the director "cares", but MPM has said that directors usually have the final say on the weapons choices. Since directors don't know or care much about guns, they're likely to pick what they've seen in other movies and TV shows, or what they think the characters should have.
