For those conscerned with the age difference of the weapons should remember that not only are most of Drake's weapons near contemporaries. The Beretta 92 is an update of the M1951, the AK came out in 47, even Uzi's started comig out in the 40's. While most of Indy's weapons came out out circa 1920 to the late 40's. Not that it really matters though, considering when it comes to small arms like these their have really only been minor changes in the past 50-100 years. Think about the fact that versions of the Colt .45 1911 predates anything Indy is carrying and its not only in service with first world militaries, but is still considered one of the finest combat hand guns.

As for the M1 vs AK-47 comparison. While it strongly favors the AK-47. Its not a complete wash. Remember Indy carried a late model select fire variant of the M1(M2) with a 30 round mag. This configuration of the weapon is not only several pounds lighter then the AK, but also has a higher rate of fire. True the .30 caliber round isn't as powerfull as the 7.62mm, but neither is the 5.56 used by AR's and I doubt anybody is going to say that an AK completly outclasses an M4.
