Here’s the thing...the G 36 has been around for a minimum of two decades, and is standard gear for at least twenty countries. No one ever said a word of issues until this popped up around three or four years ago with the German Army. The culprit....at least believed by most....is the recent bullets purchased by the Army, which has a different delivery spec.
Someone is in the shadows and doing the negative talk to ensure their alternate gun will be purchased.
“No one ever said a word of issues until this popped up around three or four years ago with the German Army.”
From what I’ve read, the problem appears to be a with the newer “type C” version.
It seems combination of ammunition, and changes made that replaced alloys with polymers, making the weapon a pound lighter. Seems the polymers deform when exposed to prolonged heat.
It’s easy to skim from Big Gruberment...
