Yes, but if you ask me, a licence-built copy can still be called for the original. Many still refer to the British L1A1 SLR as a FAL.

But the CR-21 predate the Tavor. It is in fact a bullpup AK dressed in plastic furniture.
So it is. Thanks for that. Keep getting it's history confused with that of the Galil...
Goddamn samey-looking molten-plastic guns from a common heritage

Which is funny because the Vektor CR-21 wasn't designed until 1997, and even now isn't in use by the South African Army yet.
But D9 takes place in the early 1990's or so.
You know, the irony of all this talk of G36s and bullpup G36s...at the end of the day, a bullpup G36 is just a competently built L85 and all the L85 really are are poorly made bullpup AR-18s, which, ironically, was the basis for both the L85 and G36, along with numerous other servicable infantry rifles around the world, like the Howa Type 89 and SAR series rifles.
What am I saying?
Show some damn love for the AR-18 by showing us an improved "future weapon" AR-18!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to try and figure out why the U.S. didn't just adopt the AR-18 in the first place and slowly improve upon it over the years instead of much more expensive AR-15/M-16 family of weapons...it makes my head hurt...especially when they were considering the XM-8, which is a dressed up G36, which is basically a modified AR-18...(mumbles incoherently and wanders off...)

)Service Rifles of the main armed branches of the United Commonwealth of America armed forces. The Army is responsible for land operations on earth; the Marines are responsible for rapid reaction and contingency operations in the American orbital colonies and on the Lunar colonies, in addition to their traditional duties. Thus, both utilise different rifle systems; both weapons came into service after the establishment of the first American, British, and Chinese space colonies on the moon and in orbit at the turn of the century. And both use basic, traditional weapon design for reliability and ease-of-use, although experimentation in electrically-primed munition rifles is underway. For the time being, the FN Herstal-built M47 and Enfield-designed (but Colt-manufactured) M58 are the standard weapons for American infantrymen.

You forgot the drum-mag with extra shots for the grenade launcher
Well its not a Thompson Grenade Launcher, its just a Thompson with a grenade launcher. But, that gives me a idea....

OK, here are a few more weapons for the military of that fictional nation of mine (The Republic of Vulcanus Island - sort of a "Iceland meets the Falklands", ergo : a generic rough and gritty sub-arctic island of adventure ).
The standard assault rifle (with a small integrated one-shot magazineless grenade launcher, an additional silencer, laser targeter, flashlight and small scope) :

The proper hand-held grenade launcher. Useful mainly in trench warfare and against a larger mass of enemy infantry. Also used by the nation's special police forces as a riot-control weapon (for shooting tear gas grenades). The bulky magazine can carry up to 5 standard-size grenades, including the tear gas and flashbang variety...

Fine, but I still like mine better
Fair enough.
Mine was slightly inspired by the GL from Iron Storm.Here's another Heavy Weapon, made to emphasize how important firepower is!
Its the M-23 SHW (Squad Heavy Weapon)
Its a light machine gun firing .30 cal round at 350 RPM, along with a single shot grenade launcher, with normal, armor piercing, flare, and phosphorus grenades available.
