Its a shame the G-36 isn't on the list, but then agtain the XM8 is a copy of it - a co-operation between HK and General Dynamics.

Not even worth the comment, Adler. I suspect his antics are indicative of where he is going in life.

I know him too adler. Last year he broke my USB drive right in front of me and denied he even did it. We're on holidays now but when school resumes i'll remind him of how much of a dickhead he is.

Btw Adler, since you were in the German military did you shoot the G-36 ? I know it probably isn't given to helicopter crews but since its become std. issue I thought you might have used it - if so what do you think of it.

IMO its a beauty and one of the best weapons around..

I was not in the German Army. I was a Blackhawk Crew Chief in the US Army stationed in Germany. When I was 18 I was conscripted into the Germany Army but did not have to serve because I was going to college. I later joined the US Army.

I have however shot the G-36 when I was doing some training with some German units and qualifying for the German marksman award.

The G-36 is a magnificant weapon however. I really enjoyed shooting it.

I have fired a few rounds through a G36C-Commando version with open (iron) sights installed, and found it a really nice weapon with a high ROF, however, the 5.56mm round doesnt cut it for me, especially when close combat is called for...

While the rifle is great in nearly every aspect the thing I like best about the Std. G-36 is the accuracy - pretty darn decent for an assault rifle !
