What went wrong?
>>31646295
The G36K became standard.
>>31646295
Nothing, really, it's a plastic AR-18 with a few quirks (well the built in optics on the full length rifles are kind of meh, and I'd have made it use NATO mags), but beyond that it's completely average.
There has been no flaws determined with the gun or the ammo that H&K or anyone else has been able to replicate.
>>31646295
Reunification and frugality
>>31646295
Plastic trunnion, possibly wrong polymer mixture or something at some point.

>conspiracy against HK
> rifle is fine
Maybe it is now. The ones bw tested certainly weren't.
Nothing? The rifle is fine
>>31646477
the trunnion has always been steel, never plastic. the difference came with the locking piece that the trunnion fit into. in the G36, it's "high temperature polymer", the MG36, G36E and G36KV and later, it's also steel in order to support higher temperatures.
the BW hasn't bought new G36's since the 90's and they are all the old ones without any of the upgrades that HK sells to Spain or Portugal.
For all you haters, the G36 did something before it's time and that is the forward trigger bolt release. Basically, all you fags with you're BAD's in your AR's are just copying something that G36 incorporated into it's actual design.
>Be the guy that develops an AR lower that moves the bolt catch and make fuck loads of money
Is H&K ever going to make a SA version to sell in the US?
>>31646295
Germany
>>31646967
Semi version exists, they can't get it legally exported. So only Euros can get it right now.

>>31646295
It's not the G11
>>31647081
Yeah it's better.

That's nothing like the G36 bolt release.

thats not a good feature. the AR's BR is better, releasing it with your thumb as you reload is better imo.
>>31646477
Strange, seeing how the only complaint of the Bw test was "this lightweight assault rifle we ordered does not work well as lmg or dmr."
Politics and H&K needing money and grunts wanting new toys.
>>31647148
lol. The BW doesn't have any business testing anything or doing anything with weapons for that matter. I've seen loads of YT gun channels that are more competent at this. Fuck the BW and any other EU "military" for that matter.
>>31646827
Except that the latch was small as fuck and positioned so that you can press it with your trigger finger comfortably
>>31647000
Why they can't get imported? Is it Germany's exportation laws and the fact it can't pass the ATF test?
>>31647000
>2600€
Fuck you for reminding me of that.
>>31647198
merkel is a cunt. thats why
>>31646295
By the looks of that design, everything.
>>31647213
That goes back before Merkel was führer.
>>31647148
Lightweight rifles overheating, burning out barrel, whatever is to be expected. Losing zero is not.
Everything
>>31646295
Someone had a thought
>>31647096
That's pretty disgusting
>>31646295
HK should modify the BCG like they did the MP7 so you can have an AR-15 style charging handle. This would lower the height over the bore. Everything else is perfect desu.
>>31646295
Nothing was wrong. Germany's defense minister is a fucking retard and doesn't know what she was talking about.
>>31646406
This so much
Also it was a political issue and not a technical issue
>>31648573
This. Rifle is fine.
>>31647213
Ursula was a cunt that wanted to be kanzler
>>31646295
They didn't adopt this.
>>31646295
Not sticking with tried and true.
>>31646295
choosing a woman as defense minister who's previous jobs where Minister of Labour and Social Affairs and Minister of Senior Citizens, Women and Youth
It wasn't a stamped metal, roller delayed gun.
