Why? Because you cant be good at everything..
We swedes didnt make our own AR, we bought licenses to modiy the belgian FNC, which came out as the AK5 series..
I mean, why bother making the shit when its already been done?

Jeesh, this is going nowhere it seems..

this guy speaks the truth,
why re-invent the wheel when you can buy it from your allies?

EDIT: BTW. the famous 20mm Oerlikon and 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns used by the US Navy were of Swiss and Swedish design respectively.
Does that mean the US "didn't have balls"? No, we were just smart, if we didn't we'd be stuck with the POS 1.1" "chicago piano" AA gun and our ships would be bomber-bait.
