Its interesting if you think about it, all of the assault weapons that have been designed since the AR have used some type of op rod, I can't think of anybody else you has the gas blow back right into the bolt carrier, maybe I'm forgetting one, but I can't think of it.
FNC, AR-70, Sig 550, K2, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I still like my AR a lot, but there has to be a reason that since then every designer on Earth has done it different. Heck, even Taiwan's version of the M16 uses an operating rod.
