Why are pretty much all new guns today gas operated?
Actions like the good ol' HK one seem like they'd still be very serviceable today - accuracy's good enough, reliability's great, manufacturing is easy.
Fancy feature wise, the G41 reached parity with the AR-15 such as bolt hold-open and stuff.
Furthermore, where the fuck are all the G41 copies?

>reliability's great
When the rhodies traded their fals with G3, the soldiers didn"t like it a bit due to being unreliable and stuff
>>32656198
Really? The G3 generally has a better reputation in terms of reliability than the FAL. It inherently is a rugged thing because of how damn violent the action is.
>>32656198
Brand new FALs and L1A1s versus old African G3 clones.

G3 derivatives get dirty very quickly.
>>32656088
g41 used a gas trap action. It would get very dirty very fast. Its one of the main improvements the g43 had over the g41. The g43 used a gas port type of gas system which is much cleaner.

HK G41, not the WW2 G41, silly.

I'm pretty sure the brass being ejected from my G3 clone could kill somebody.

Turns you into a one man army by covering your left flank and putting chaff between you and hostile air.

Wrong, they used everything they had available due to the amount of sanctions and arms embargos they had. Alot of the G3A3s amd A4s were given from the Portuguese, while their FALs were smuggled from South Africa

This. G3s were actually pretty popular with Grey's Scouts because of the shorter length. Rhodies did use mostly FALs though.
I love the Cetme L.
Roller delayed blow back needs more love in modern firearm designs.

They also received only 5,000 G3s from Poortugal; they had 30,000 R1s from Seeth Eefrikah.
Here you can buy a copy
