What more?
>>29451958
Fuck you. Either the Kalashnikov or the AR-18. Almost nothing is based off of the AR-15.

browning linkless short recoil

No AR-18 without AR-15
AK pretty much just got Valmet, AK-74 and vz 58
The rest is just plain copies of it, from Chinese and Warszaw pact countries to indigenous designs

Thats easy mode OP

Okay. Riddle me this. Is there a light machinegun based off the AR-15? No? Well there are tons based off of the AR-18 and a few off the AK. Also the vz 58 isn't based off the AK. You're also forgetting about all the AK-100 series rifles, all of Russia's specialized waeapins based off the AK, along with numerous other copies or designed inspired by the AK. Same with the AR-18

You fucking idiot.
VZ-58 has nothing in common with the AK except the caliber, and is not AK Variant it even uses fucking short-stroke gas piston.
For the AK you have.

The ak and AR are on equal ground
Both can be/have a derivative assault rifle, automatic rifle,machine gun, sub machine gun, carbines, precision rifles, and hunting carbines.
With the modern market, you can make either do anything.
While the ar15 influenced the ar18 and it's children, it also has the mcx and a million piston based not an ars.
The ak has the galil, valmet, rk62/95, insas, and less directly the sig 550, fnc, ak5.
