Star Wars Prop gun is an AK-47? :: 07/06/2014

"A man who dresses as a storm trooper from Star Wars and makes funny videos for his VINE account caused quite the uproar in Salina, KS when a bystander thought he was carrying an AK-47. Yep, because that Star Wars blaster prop looks just like an AK-47."

Of course. The way the media vilifies guns, we would not have been surprised to see a broomstick identified as an AK-47
