AKM

Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown (Christopher Lloyd) is shot with a AKM by Libyan terrorists. This is one of the very few instances in film where a Kalashnikov-pattern rifle is seen jamming (yet it can happen, usually when a round pops up at a strange angle in the magazine, stopping the feed completely, and racking the action doesn't immediately eject the misfed round). Why this was noteworthy amongst firearms enthusiasts is because the AK series is considered some of the world's most reliable weapons and rarely experiences jams such as the one portrayed in the film.
