First answer is the most accurate one - US army has a tradition of sabotaging non-american gun developement. Best example are demands for round caliber and power when NATO standartisation was only starting. US planned to sabotage european developement and force NATO to buy american guns. And like usual, they failed to provide their own gun to benefit from all this harm done. FN FAL and G3 are "right arm of free world", M14 is forgotten american failure:D And later on they've introduced AR15, invested 3 decades to make a good gun out of it and are now buying G36 in different body aka HK416/417. They want to profit off from their own allies too much.

@emu4286 oh, what a mystery. What happened to Panther? What happened to early T-34? What happened to early stamped AKs? Pff, keep spreading unknown facts, Cap.

I can dress AK-74M into AR-15 market furniture and add carry handle on top, but it WON'T make it AR-15 derivative, no matter how hard YOU believe it. AR-18, G36 and HK416 have nothing to do with AR-15. AR-10/15 and AR-12/16 are two DIFFERENT rifle families that have very little in common from design perspective apart from a few given things, just like T-64/80 and T-72/90 are two different families of soviet tanks. But back on topic of rifles, one of said families was designed to be cheap, easy to maintain, sturdy and reliable... and the other one was adopted by US army. Guess which one is which?;)
