The Libyan terrorists find Doc Brown at the mall.
- "Damn Soviet gun!"
- —Libyan gunman's barely intelligible curse, when his rifle jammed.
The AK-47 assault rifle was a Soviet-built machine gun manufactured from 1947 to the 21st century. It had the distinction of being the most widely used and distributed military firearm in the world. The Libyan terrorists had access to these guns and one brought one along on a mission to kill Emmett Brown for stealing plutonium from them.
They successfully gunned down Doc with the AK-47, but once it was pointed at Marty McFly it jammed. After several attempts to unjam the gun, the gunman resorted to using a rocket-propelled grenade, though their Volkswagen Bus crashed into a Fox Photo booth before they had an opportunity to fire it.

Trivia
- The AK-47 the terrorists used in the movie was likely a very poorly-made knockoff, as the Soviet-made weapon is legendary for being virtually impossible to jam.
