I think most movies use the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle, which is a Kalashnikov knock-off and is far more common in the US than the real thing. Most people can't tell the difference between the two.
BTW, I highly recommend "The Gun" by C.J. Chivers. It's a fascinating historical treatise about this weapon.
