I don't think that's the reason Gary.
If I remember correctly from my army days, The AK-47 used ever so slightly
larger ammo than our M16. As a result, they could use our ammo in their
rifles, granted with a little less precision, but we could not use their
ammo in ours.

The AK47 shoots a MUCH bigger bullet (30 caliber ~ .310" ) than the .223
bullet in the AR15/M16. The AK- 74 shoots a similar round (5.45x39), but
they're not interchangeable.
The reason they screwed up the Hubble was inattention to detail, not
problematic units. I won't give an inch on this position! :-)
