NO! Why cause it looks like an AK? Is the ACR not creative? It's nothing more than an AR-15 with a monolithic rail and the simply more reliable gas piston system.
And that's not even the beginning of it. There's a ton of neat designs that never reached full production, like the AK-107. Although I think Tula came up with neater designs thanks to German Korobov (Three barrel, three action, three magazine rifle? I WANT ONE.)
That firearm has obvious problems with manufacture and field use. But it is a neat rifle.
