The Journalist’s Guide to Firearms Identification.

There was a bit of a kerfluffle last week. A group of “intruders with assault rifles” robbed a Walmart in the Houston area.

Television station KPRC reported that the assault rifles were AK-47s.

Today, the HouChron is reporting that they caught the alleged robbers. (Actually, the girlfriend of one of them turned them in.) And…

She said the three had a large amount of cash and a long-barrel weapon, which she said they called an “SKS,” records state. According to online information, the SKS is a widely sold copy of the Russian AK-47 assault rifle.

Yeah. Not so much.
