That's the thing though, the aesthetic of the movie is very consistent. Someone clearly decided that an AKM and a GTR were the correct aesthetic choices where they were used. That's the thing that bothers me. Like I said, I have no problem with the AK in Star Wars that people were getting their panties in a bunch over a while back. They just handed him the nearest gun-shaped object off the shelf and no one put any thought into it. It's whatever, they wanted to show a character with a gun so they handed him a gun. Elysium is specifically showcasing this fusion of old and new with some sort of air burst attachment on an AKM. Why that gun? Why not a shotgun? Why not an AR? Why not a Mosin? There's lots of guns I can think of reasons to be used there, but the one they went with is baffling to me.
