Remember that Most of the Georgian Senior NCO's and Field Grade Officers were part of the Old Soviet Army. They knew that if Mother Russia ever rolled south, SHTF would be an understatement. Surviving Georgian Army units would be cut off from any re-supply and it would be impossible to find 5.56 NATO on Dead/Captured Russians or from Russian Supply Convoys/Depots. AK makes good sense.
No battleplan survives first contact with the enemy!
