I wonder if they gave them their old handbook on how to deal with Terrorists and Partisans.

Meanwhile Obama is anguishing about ordering white infidel Christian pilots to bomb dark skinned Muslims however barbaric they may be.

...well, select fire is the correct term. Looks like they got rid of bunker "Nacht" near Munich that had 50,000 G3 rifles. Germans stored them there as they transitioned to G36. They were refurbished at the HK factor(ies) and, seriously, look brand new.
If we could get rid of 18USC 922(o) and some trade laws, I'll take 10 of them!

Agreed. Solid move. Very appropriate level of firepower and quantity. Enough to put a big hurt on ISIS, not too much so as to turn the Kurds into regional aggressors.

10,000 hand grenades, 16,000 rifles, 240 rocket-propelled grenades: Germany sends military equipment for 4000 Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq. Four rifles each? Those Kurds really are amazing fighters.

You give them to all adults and to those displaced by ISIS.
There’s barely enough, when all is said and done.

RAMBO on steroids!
Seriously, a poster stated the G-36 tends to "heat-up" on full auto. Never fired/owned one so I have no idea what the specifics are.

All I can say is that it's about time somebody else answer the damned 911 calls.
All these European Weenies piss and moan about the dangers of ISIS, but fully expect US to bail their asses out.
I'm tired of it...well past time for them spend a few Marks or Liras or Francs or whatever the hell they call money over there.
But, I'll bet whatever they sent was first paid for by us, probably years ago.
And while they're at it, cancel our UN Membership.

The Kurds just want their ancient borders back, and then they want to be left alone. They don’t operate on a world-domination manifesto.
Although a US Colonel operating in the second Gulf War came back saying that the Kurds should be allowed to govern all of Iraq, being the only group in the region not dog-rabid insane.

H&K may need to come up with a solution as they did with the Brits SA-80. I love my USP .45.
It does seem odd this problem is years old, yet H&K has done nothing to rectify it. May need to put in semi-auto mode only until solution found.

I’ve got a USP in 9mm,totally reliable.HK just doesn’t have serious design problems with their weapons,I sure would like to know what went wrong with the G36 project.
