How the AKM appears in Star Wars univers?

Dear EA dev team,

Hope you are doing well.

Kindly may we as Star Wars fans, and end users of your "product" know, how AKМ appears in Star Wars

You may easily compare your model, with known russian rifle from the link below

Is this still Star War game or already tarkov or battlefield?

    This has nothing to do with CG, really. They probably modeled it after Vel's blaster in the show, which was probably a modified AK.

    Using real weapons in Star Wars goes back to 1977. Han's blaster is a dressed up German Luger. Stormtrooper blasters are also real wrapons with bits added to the barrel.

  • LucasFilms wanted realistic and used looking weapons to fit their gritty world.  The Rebels in Andor are using weapon which are lightly modified AKs.  Andor's blaster/rifle is a modified AR-15 base.  The desert Stormtroopers carry a modified German MG34.  The E-11 blaster is a British Sterling Sub-Machine Gun.  And Boba's famous rifle the EE-3 is a Webbly and Scott Mk 1 Flare Gun from WW1.  

    So there is significant history with the studio using real weapons to give Star Wars that lived in universe feel.  If you notice, none of the rebel fighters have scopes on their tech, to signify they are poor compared to the Imperials and the Rebellion is still in it's infancy.
