Different cultures, different customs, or so the saying goes
The saying also apparently applies to rifle preferences for the world’s militaries, as the following map illustrates.
[Map note from Gizmodo: “Judging by the map's choice of colors, it seems to group weapons that are of a similar family together by color”]:
Obviously, there are many, many more types of rifles than the ones shown on the map, but as Gizmodo notes, the “map gives a general gist of each military's standardization.”
And here are a few of the more popular rifles referenced in the map:
M4:
C7:
FX-05:
GALIL:
FAL:
M16:
FAMAS:
IMBEL MD-2:
SG 540:
AK 47:
SA80:
R4:
M96:
G36:
F88 AUSTEYR:
QBZ 95:
