Out of all kind of armament designing,rifle is least complicated and requires least resources.
Truly superior assault rifles manufacturers are very few because very few rifles are pressed into service.Not every design is pressed into service.
A rifle designed today won't go into service today,it would take years of testing resulting modifications would lead to a reliable and robust weapon system.
Why not we should stick with old friend then?

Hi,

One must ask this question---an assault rifle's design is not that complicated as you mentioned---then why a dearth of top notch weapons---.

If it works---don't fix it---.

Only 4 types of major systems
1-Short stroke gas piston.(G-36,M-416,M-4 custom models)
2-Long stroke gas piston.(Ak-47,M249,FN MAG)
3-Blow back operating system(Pistols,Sub Machine Guns,G-3,MG-42)
4-Direct impingement(M-16,MAS-40)
Then widely chamber locking system
1-Locking lugs.
2-Rollor locked.
3-Tilting breechblock.
Atleast one weapon coupled with gas system and locking system out these listed is in use and is widely liked by soldiers.Except blow back one's.
Why reinvent wheel then?
We are using a rifle chambered in 7.62x51NATO and it uses Rollor delayed blow back system.It was built in 1950's using manufacturing tech+materials of that era.It is nodoubt a great design but it has problems.
We either should change the way rifle is build and sort out all issues or we should induct a new one.
 
Let me tell you Something believe it or not M-4's are also starting to get old. America has sold us old versions of M-4's. Our SOF guys are still using old school weapon handling.

This is what I am talking about. M4 with extended rail system. Used for C-Grip. Almost every operator of modern SOF prefers to shoot with C-Grip. Its not a particularly an attachment for rifle but a way to hold a rifle. Its most accurate way to shoot.

It can be seen clearly that a SF operator firing a gun using C-Grip.

A Delta Operator with C-Grip. The point is we have to modernize their equipment and operation skill as well. this is not a battle of Gun grips or attachments top ranking SF still use the old grips. But they give a freehand to operators to choose a gun according to their prefrences.

the poinnt is give variety options to our SF and Army also to choose and modify their rifles according to their needs.

I'm not suggesting this as a future system...but look at how controlled the recoil is in this Ak version

it is because of that muzzle brake ......... you put it on a G3 and still able to shoot as flat as that........... that is also the whole charisma of SCAR.................... the Muzzle brake
