However, the BCG of the G36 is very clearly borrowed from the AR18, much like almost everything but the gas piston of the 416 is borrowed from the AR15.
Every semi auto that isn't roller locked, is either based upon the AR15, AR18, FNC or AK and more than a few people would put the AR18, FNC and AK in the same group. When it comes to operating systems, there isn't really a lot that's new under the sun.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
