Interesting. There's probably a lot more that we might never hear about until some old guy's kids are clearing out his attic and find a bunch of notes.

Thats awesome.... the israelis base the galil off the valmet, swedes base their FFV off the galil, and then valmet buys the design of the FFV from the swedes. Seems kind of ass backwards haha
