German Army reporting problems with G36 rifle

[Mr.1904]

This is true from what I've seen on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series of video games.

Haha, Zing!

Is it possible it's just a specific run of the rifles? Like the article states; Why is this just coming to light now? Not enough firefights and or field testing to find this issue beforehand?

If i was German infantry i'd be a little unsettled by this.

Wouldnt be too hard to get data.... Do sustained fire tests and check accuracy.

Maybe it's shooter error. They should have learned their lesson about accuracy and long distances in Belleau Wood.

Sign up, deploy to the 'stan, then come back and report your success at 25m.

LOL.

But seriously, it's a bit odd that only now this has been noticed... unless the people in charge have been trying to cover this up for years.

Hah!

[ERdept]

Taking recent conflicts into account, do they really need to be accurate beyond 200m? Most engagements nowadays occur anywhere from point-blank, to about 25 yds TOPs...

Again, just what I've seen...

Wasn't the average contact distance in Iraq, something like 75 yards?

Well that sucks for HK...
Ill stick with the proven M16 platform...
Some times things should be made of metal and not polymer...
