A Firearm we Want chambered in .22LR !

If you could get any firearm chambered in your favourite caliber - what would it be?
Although we would love to see the following Rifle chambered in .17HMR as well as .22WMR, I would have to say it would be most practical in .22LR, atleast to get it into the market first before going into the other calibers ....

Vektor CR-21 Assult Rifle, Produced for the South African Military to replace the current ''R'' family of weapons (R4 being the most dominant and then R5 serving the police and possibly special forces including the R6)
The Firearm has not been selected to replace the R4 due to funds being used for other armaments in the country's recent large upgrade (Fighter Aircraft, Attack Helicopters, Submarines, Frigates and many more) Due to this Vektor has apparently ceased operations. Apparently the Moulds of the CR21 for the original 5.56mm NATO assult rifle has been purchased by another private company - so there is still hope yet! Perhaps they will stumble upon my blog and see there could be a demand? (Pssst ... be sure to leave lot's of comments just incase!)

DISCLAIMER: Because I know that some fun hating, control worshipping anti-gun nut will probably stumble across this blog and only notice the words above: ''Assult Rifle'', So before you throw a Fit - I would like to point out that the Original Firearm is a Military Grade weapon ... so for interest sake and to be true to the point / true information, I had to put the words ''Assult Rifle'' in the description of the firearm I Am Referring To ! When I say: ''A Firearm we want chambered in .22LR'' - I mean the same gun body, with a .22LR caliber (a much lighter caliber ie: much smaller bullet [you may want to google ''caliber''] and obviously Not An Assult Rifle ie: Full Automatic fire capability but in Semi Automatic form!
