We're on vacation in Stockholm and caught the noontime ceremony at the Royal Palace, which has three or four GI guards at fixed posts in dress uniform.
Several guys in camo were sttting up stanchions before the ceremony, and I got a good shot of a rifle with what looked like an AR mag. After some research, I learned it's the Carl Gustav (who also makes the AT-4) AK5. Here's info:
^^ That would be prepper heaven, and probably a lot of fun to shoot. I have an M90NP and I've shot a converted Saiga; 5.56 AK derivatives definitely seem to be worth trying.

Despite the designation, the AK5 isn’t a 5.56 AK-47. It’s a modified version of the FN FNC, which already exists in semi-auto form. I believe some people have converted their FNCs into AK5s.

I regret not jumping full bore into the NFA Full Auto game back in 2010 - I could have gotten an FNC & Sear for $6500 - yeah, a lot but not close to what you’d pay today.
Ever since it was on the cover of a gun rag in my youth, I’ve lusted for an FNC.
