The locals might have gotten curious/desperate to arm themselves, and what should they come upon but an arsenal courtesy of the Soviet Union and Uncle Sam.

There was quite a bit of AKs and other assorted hardware captured on Grenada, a lot of it was issued to the various OPFOR units on the major bases for training. We always had AK, AKMS for range time, even had the chance to fire RPDs, RPKs, PKs and DShKs. OPFOR-Ft Knox had RPG7s with training rockets that they pulled out for some of the officer training courses.
Soooooo, there would be a fair chance to get hold of Soviet smalls arms and ammo on just about any Army base.
