Last time the Germans did a military exercise they used broom handles instead of machine guns because they no longer had enough machine guns. A biker gang could beat the German military right now.
The rifle the German army adopted a few years ago (G36 I believe) is a piece of junk — at least two German KIA’s in Afghanistan were considered partially a result of their guns jamming up repeatedly in the heat of battle...Not to mention the integral scope totally loses accuracy with use due to the polymer parts melting and letting the barrel shift. Many German soldiers apparently try to qualify as skilled marksmen, which allows them to carry the much better rifle that the army used to issue standard back in the ‘70s-mid-’90s.
