IDF Infantry Platoon
Even though they aren't Pact aligned, their main rifle is an AK variant. The Galil is based on the Finnish RK62 (the best AK variant ever fielded) but in 5.56 and half a pound heavier for a non-freefloated bipod. The Galil maintains the RK62's aperture sights with full sight radius while adding a selector lever/safety that doesn't require breaking firing grip, eliminating two of the major flaws of the AK platform. It uses a proprietary rock and lock 5.56 magazine, though an adapter existed that let it use M16 magazines. It includes a bottle opener on the rifle itself because the IDF are a bunch of drunks that would otherwise damage the magazines using them to pry open bottles (No, seriously. That was an actual problem they had with Uzi magazines.). There's a 7.62 NATO version as well, but it was mostly for export.
