somewhat. Some of it is a little research, but for the most part it's just look for the lines.

For instance, a Norinco type 84 looks just like an AK47 but the collapsable stock version folds to the side
the AK47 folded under

well, it's less of a skill and more of a hobby How can a person just tell the difference between to classic cars just by the grill? I'll give you another for instance. Taurus PT92 and the Beretta 92 Taurus makes licensed versions of the Beretta. Wanna know how you spot the difference? (or easiest difference?) the slide stop / the safety Beretta Taurus

One is further up and doesn't overlap the grip.

It's hard to see that fast on film though, and you gotta remember that more than likely it's going to be covered by somebody's hand

one of my favorite spots though is Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. He has a Star Model B, but everybody assumes it's a 1911 clone (which is mostly true). The (basic cosmetic) difference is that the Star has a different grip safety. Quentin Tarantino even got it right because in the movie Jackson calls it "Mr. 9mm" which is correct.
