Other countries have common sense? ;)

Thank the Cold War for a lot of advances and back lashes of weapon development. And in the past 100+ years, the US had made up a lot of oddities that more than likely didn't make it pass prototype stages and barely needs a mention. And the US and Russia for a long while and continuing has a lot of money floating around, and people with interesting ideas on how to reinvent the firearm. It's all about who has the most money and people with enough time on their hands. I mean has any of you ever seen a bullpup version of the SKS?

Yeah, that's probably it. :D

like this?

Ugly looking, but it still looks kind of cool.
