HK G-36 being reviewed for problems

"Then again, as someone once snarked, the G36 is best known as an assault rifle fielded by countries that don’t fight wars. The rifle simply hasn’t been subjected to the extensive real-world conditions of other combat rifles created before and during the so-called Cold War."

I couldn't disagree more. HK has made several awesome rifles. The psg1 is a monster. Not to mention several others. To each their own of course.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
