survivalshop Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Seems we are not the only Country to have problems with a new rifle system , though they say this is an Ammunition problem . http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Security-Industry/2015/04/01/German-Army-rifles-under-scrutiny-for-accuracy-problems/4311427902465/
Robocop1051 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 We were issued the G36k almost 15 years ago.... While the piston design is flawless, the barrel and sights suck fat sweaty donkey balls.

While the piston design is flawless, the barrel and sights suck fat sweaty donkey balls. Don't sugar coat it , tell us how you really feel . <laughs> Do they have a "wandering zero"? I just think they can't hit squat with them, not the riflemen's fault ! <dontknow> We have had our own problems with ammo for our battle rifles .
Robocop1051 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 We shoot 55gr SP and I can barely hold a 8MOA with the godawful 2x scope that comes with it
AngelDeVille Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 We shoot 55gr SP and I can barely hold a 8MOA with the godawful 2x scope that comes with it You got a scope! I didn't get no fukkin' scope! I totally got shafted!
Malig8r Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 the barrel and sights suck fat sweaty donkey balls. You got a scope! I didn't get no fukkin' scope! I totally got shafted! They got Scope mouthwash to help get rid of that nasty equine testicle taste out of their mouths. ;)
Robocop1051 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 If you can call it a "scope". It's that lame dual optic carry handle they came with... horrible batt/solar red dot over an even worse 2x10mm optic

It's that lame dual optic carry handle they came with... horrible batt/solar red dot over an even worse 2x10mm optic Seriously? That looks like it came off a Wal-Mart airsoft gun and got spraypainted black! At least you guys had one, I've never even held a G36 variant, let alone shot one. I don't get how a country with so much money will put out such a sub-par platform and try to push the idea that it's the schitt. I mean, Germany's only in control of like 90% of the EU's money Now that I think about it, they should just get all of us to build their rifles; they've got the money, and I'm sure they'd be happy with a sub-MOA rifle for every POS like this they put out. Then again....
98Z5V Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Excuse to transition to HK416s? Not for the Germans - when they produce both rifles from the same factory. The G36 barrels have always sucked. The operating system is ingenious, though, and the 33 smokes this rifle, badly.
blue109 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 whenever I see that goofy carry handle thing I think of the guy who made that 50lb detachable water cooled barrel shroud thing for his 24" DPMS gun.

FaRKle! Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 http://www.dw.de/german-defense-minister-says-no-future-for-g36-rifles-in-bundeswehr/a-18399209G36 is on the way out. Robo, your dept might be able to get spare parts now!I'm betting they go with the 416.
shibiwan Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 ... this leads me to wonder about the SAR-21 and how it'll hold up against one of our "DIY" AR's (in 300 AAC or otherwise). I never had the opportunity to shoot one. I was out of the army way before they implemented the change.
98Z5V Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Now THAT I've gotta see.... Your wish... ah, you know the rest. That uglyass carry handle further above reminds me of a more recent discussion on the T97... <dontknow>
survivalshop Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 No need for carrie handle with the Beast , it needs a fork lift to get it on the range table. <laughs>
Sisco Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Germany is supplying G36's to the Kurdish Peshmerga, along with Panzerfaust 3 launchers and Milan missles. Edited April 24, 2015 by Sisco
