The 5.56-millimeter Fatih assault rifle is actually a clone of the Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle. The Iranian defense industry has designed at least a dozen similar rifles in the past decade in a mostly failed effort to replace old AK-47s and G-3s.
The only one that has seen any service is a modified version of a Chinese copy of the American M-16. For its part, Fatih didn’t even work as propaganda. Photographs captured the moment the rifle jammed after firing a few demonstrative shots at its own inauguration ceremony.

And people complain about the militarization of the US.
