AKM or ARM?

[MoviePropMaster2008]

Sorry if this has been listed before. My memory is shot, primarily due to exhaustion and overwork.

I noted the excellent work done on the A-Team page. However, when dealing with the AK variants the page lists the guns use as AKMs. Technically there were NO AKMs in the U.S. inventory in the 1980s. Only after the fall of communism did the federal restriction on owning any communist weapon get removed. All those guns were Maadi ARMs (the U.S. imported version of the MISR). Should we mention that all these guns are ARMs, not AKMs? It creates the false impression that we had access to real Soviet AKMs back in the 1980s when it was not true.

Just a question.
