because it wasn't good enough as it was
Something about that ak variant in the header image doesn't sit well with me. I think it's the stock and the barrel which exceeds past the handguard. Also here's how they got part of their logo. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10790421/kalashnikov.gif[/img]
[quote]The firm, which relies heavily on the export market[/quote] No kidding. That new design seems kind of silly though. It would look really weird to see that in the hands of a third-world guerilla fighter... although maybe it would look very mildly futuristic/cyberpunk.
The AK could benefit from changing how you insert the magazine. It can be finnicky at times, and is not as easy as just slotting it in like with most of the NATO rifles

I'd imagine it's even harder when you're being shot at... I think the problem is compatibility here - they'd have to change it in a way that is backwards-compatible.
