Ruby's magazine is clearly based off the .50 cal magazines found popularized on the Barret series of sniper rifles. The shell casings that fall at the end of her trailer also appear to be too large to be for 7.62mm rounds. While that could be argued as a perspective issue, the magazine size is obvious.

Also the AK-47 was not a NATO weapons and does not fire a NATO 7.62 round. The Soviet equivalent was 7.62X39mm so as to make the ammunition not compatible were a war to break out between NATO and the Soviet Union. Not denying anything you say but I'd like to point out that the 20-round 7.62mm magazines used for the Fabrique Nationale FAL assault rifle are about twice the size of those used on US-designed weapons. A lot depends on what the gunsmith in charge of the design wants and something tells me that Ruby designs her weapons for 'awesome' and 'sexy' first and 'practical' is somewhere further down the list.
