Changed tag to AK-104, the AK-102 and 105 look the same, but have a straighter mag (chambered in 5.56x45 / 5.45x39), this one is more curved, clearly chambered in 7.62x39.

You might be surprised. There are lots of accurate firearm depictions in fanart on Danbooru. Some artists pay a good attention to the firearms, the problem is that there aren't many people to correctly tag them.
I think that when we have about 50 different tags for "cum on ****" with different body parts and clothing, it won't hurt to have a separate tag for different firearms.
Yeah I can understand that, but cant it be simplified to simply "AK" for the AK type weapons and M16 or AR-15 for the M16 type weapons, etc...? Because detailed tagging will end up with 10 million different firearms related tags, if one would go tag them properly.
Nitpicking about exact model seems just ridiculous.
There's also the problem of some artists not following reference 100%, so their result end up as "something that looks maybe like that one certain gun".

If you look in the weapon section, most tags are doing just fine, and if there was anyone to spend the time, even the emptier ones would fill up nicely. About the tags being unnecessarily accurate - I've used them quite a lot and it turned out to be pretty useful. I mean, most times the weapons are tagged generally (gun), then more accurately (assault rifle, pistol, revolver), then by family (M16, Kalashnikov) and finally by type (M4, AK-47, AK-74SU). I don't see a problem with it, as the search will get you correct results for whichever tag you choose.

Well, for that we have the more generalising tags.
