G36 Controversy Heats Up

[Kirk Freeman]

In Germany the flap over the GayDrySex (parts deforming under use) grows.

HundK releases not one, but three press releases. Pressure is on to adopt new weapon. And you thought only your service weapon sucked.

So...why do they use the G36 instead of the HK416?

Because the G36 (mid-90s) precedes the 416 (early 2000s) in evolutionary terms. Replacing a service weapon, even Germany's, costs a lot of geld.

The uproar may cause the Heer to adopt the 416. We shall see.

Kirk, the phonetical pronunciation of "D" in german is typically "day" not "dry"

Ein zwie drie. Three , not D

I'm going on 4 hours asleep and two monster energy drinks. I have no frigging clue why I was thinking Day instead of Drei.

Dreimal Hoch?

Oh, boy, I get to wear a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches and teach tonight!

Sometimes I wonder about Kraut weapons.

German weapons are some of the most over-engineered on earth.

If you have ever seen a G11, you will know what I mean.

Dear H&K, no tears here, why, because you hate us!

Seems HK public relations should keep a tight lip instead of telling the bund they don't know what they are talking about. "Everzing ees fine! Noting to zee heer.

Kraut space magic.

Kraut space magic.

I'm fairly sure that's actually the mechanism for a precision Swiss watch in the buttstock.

This sounds so wrong...

Am I the only one that thought this was a misplaced Glock thread?

Polymer service weapons...making the butt stroke the last thing you do. Fits nicely with the weapons name too!

Sarge...I broke my rifle!

I was actually glad to see it wasn't.

If it was a Glock thread, I would have to say G36 in Austrian, not German.

Im still pretty new but I take it you glock guys will turn anything into a glock thread. How long before we see the "if glock made the g36 it wouldn't malfunction" quote? Come to think of it, if it had an unsupported chamber it wouldn't Jam so easy.
