I think it has been looked at and even solved; the SA-80 was developed as a rifle that no other military would would be able to use. Or was that no other military would want to use? Either way, job done.

Also, real talk, that's also why the US loses so often.

Well, you see, George, I did like it, back in the old days when the prerequisite of a British campaign was that the enemy should under no circumstances carry guns -- even spears made us think twice. The kind of people we liked to fight were two feet tall and armed with dry grass.
Well said captain B.
