Gun question: other assault rifles?
I've talked a bit in other threads about the AK-47 and M2 carbine. I'm fuzzy on timelines, when did other countries (I'm presuming NATO) find out about the AK-47? When did they realize that was more than another SMG, and when did they start developing their own?
I remember vaguely there was a fight within NATO about standardizing on the 7.62x51mm round, was there a later push for something smaller?
