Everyone who plays terrorist on CS:S will ditch their AK for an M4 the first chance they get.
In all seriousness though, it isn't all that good at all. Not nearly as reliable as people make out (I certainly wouldn't want to curl one out in the breech, give it a quick shake and take it on the range, one way or two way). Innaccurate, really not that good of a round... What it is though is a sort of grown up Fisher Price 'My First Rifle' which people with little training/intelligence/discipline can get to grips with and use reasonably well reasonably quickly. They did the whole AR vs AK debate on some docu a few years ago and some ex Green Beret type summed it up best. 'If I had a day to train someone on any rifle it would be the AK. If I had a week to train someone on any rifle it would be an AR.'

Everyone knows the best assault weapon is the SA80. 
Hated that fecking thing...What nimrod thought a button on the base of the mag was a good idea?
A1 mags were terrible... real men acquired buckshee Colt mags instead. The new ones are really well made and you could happily batter someone to death with it.
The A2 is a vast improvement on the A1 (thanks H&K) and is the weapon we should have had from the get go. It's maybe a little too heavy but it's all in the rear of the weapon which actually makes it a lot easier to shoot.

Oh it was good to shoot, but it was a horrible weapon when I used it. Easy to control, accurate (till it lost zero yet again), Bolt relase catch was pretty much garrenteed to go missing, bayonet was a piece of crap as well. Does it still have the nasty habit of flying off when you fire the rifle?
Glasd to hear the A2 version is better but it would not have taken a lot improve the A1.
Aye, A2 is brill and if the tests are to be believed more reliable than most other western rifles (including the new M4/M16 varients). I only wish they'd upgraded to picadily rails for the sights instead of the old STANAG rails (which noone else uses anymore). I've no complaints and I don't think anyone else I know has had any real dramas with it.
