Question Civilian-owned Firearms in T2k

Has anyone stumbled across, or created, tables for firearms one could encounter in the hands of, or sourced from, civilians in the T2kU? I'm thinking specifically of the USA, given the staggering number and variety of civilian-marketed and owned firearms here.

For a CONUS campaign, one could conceivably stumble across all kinds of guns in civie hands, from an antique (but functional) revolver, to a long-barreled, fully-automatic Uzi SMG, to a .50 cal sniper rifle.

This question is complicated by the various timelines. In timelines where the Soviet Union doesn't collapse (v1), the US market wouldn't have been flooded with former Warsaw Pact Mosin Nagants, SKS, and AKs. Some Vietnam war trophy weapons could certainly be floating around, but the total number of East Bloc weapons in civie hands would be much lower than IRL. I'm not sure what the situation would like like in the v2 or v4 timelines since the USSR/Pact only kind of falls.

Anyway, I imagine that it would be far more common to run across an AR-15 type rifle than, say, an HK43 or Galil. IMHO, any civie firearm table should take probabilities into a account. Also, civie-owned full-auto weapons are much less common than semi-auto.
