The only trouble is we have never had a nifty, light, compact service/tactical rifle/carbine with the toughness and relaibilty of an FN or AK chambered in 5.56 NATO/.233 as far as I know.
Speaking of gas-piston-action, back further into history, there's that infamous German Sturmgewehr 44 in 7.92×33mm Kurz that started the true "assault rifle" craze. Still heavy, big 8 mm rounds. If Hitler had not killed the assault weapons program while going against Mother Russia, they might have conquered the world as we know it.

Lol.... Go ahead and read about the Filthy 14.
The "filthy 14" now has 67,500 rds with NO cleaning.
Doesn't sound like a jammomatic to me.
Link to the original article.... Google search will show the various updates.
