Experts said that the main small arms of the Korean army are, in fact, a hybrid of an AK-47 assault rifle with an M16 rifle. The weapon combined their merits.
According to Voennoye Obozreniye, after the end of the Korean War, Seoul was completely dependent on American weapons. The Koreans could produce the M16 rifle on their own, but the number of samples was limited by the license. Therefore, Korea decided to create its own small arms. This is how the K2 rifle appeared.
From the Soviet AK-47, she received long-stroke pistons that are reliable when used in extreme conditions. From the M16, the weapon retained the mechanism for selecting the firing mode: semi-automatic, automatic and three-shot burst. In addition, the K2 stock clearly mimics the M16, although it is folding, which makes the weapon more compact.
