Avtomat Kalashnikov, AK-47 type

[PAM6116]

this is on a list of rifles defined as 'assault rifles' in the state of ct, (CGS 53-202A). the list specifically cites many weapons, (HK-91, Colt AR-15, Bushmaster Auto Rifle,streetsweeper).

is/was Avtomat Kalashnikov an actual manufacturer, like 'colt ar15' or does this attempt to ban all ak-47 type rifles?
