Nah the iwi looks like the fish gun from beretta (arx 160) and the mk15 is literally an amalgamation of a FAL and an AR both very pleasing on the eyes. While I'll admit its not the most appealing, its still miles ahead of the small hat fish gun.

At least IWI is known to actually torture test their guns and build top quality firearms. Brigade is more of a niche US manufacturer with no history of military contracts. Just my 2 cents

Yeah idk about you but im not going to war with my gun, the mk15 has been tested enough for me, not to mention its light years better then anything made in canada.
