Well during the Cold War the Russians did throw tons of them at any nation that claimed socialism and afterwords tons more were sold off for a few dollars each to whoever wanted them so it's quite understandable they would have widespread use.
If widespread use is a sign of superiority then we should all buy Volkswagen Beetles.
Mostly in the hands of ill trained guerilla fighters albeit. The factory sights themselves are generally poor and not fitted for accurately shooting which is what a trained professional military requires.
The Galil takes the base AKM design and vastly improves it's functionality, features, and rechambers it in 5.54x45 NATO, it clearly works or it wouldn't be in use by nearly 30 nations.
It also allows the the use of STANAG magazines with an adapter which is a plus given that AK-101/2 cannot comply to the Standardization Agreement.
An adapted version of the AK-101/2 would be best perhaps but the Galil still could accomplish the same feats, imo it would be essentially the same or at least very similar system in the end.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
I've never liked the way the Galil looks but from reading about it it sounds like a good weapon.
