Obviously, some deviate from the design more than others, but overall, they're all based on the 18. The thing is, it doesn't seem like many of them have track records that would rank any of them above "mediocre" (though admittedly, the 805 needs more time). Compare that to rifles based on the AK, such as the SG550 series, FN FNC, RK95, Galil, or the AR, which have excellent track records for ruggedness and reliability. I can't help but wonder, is it the AR18 design, or is that more of a coincidence that has little to do with why those other rifles have had issues.
