The AK design does not meet military accuracy requirements in its original design.

The Swiss have the SIG SG 550 family of rifles, based on the AK design but using 5.56 NATO ammo.

The 5.56 is a whole other problem, not related to the weapon itself.

Changing the weapon will be easy, changing caliber (which is nearly equally important) is an even greater problem due to our NATO allies.
