Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

They could be Chinese, Iranian, or Singapore (among others) made clones of M-16s. But the AK's would be a better choice for illiterate peons that the drug gangs use as muscle (for the most part). The AK was designed for Illiterate peansants. Russian ones to be sure.
