and a view of the VLS itself from the casing after being made safe (as possible)

Long gone are the times of the German War Machine

These days they have to investigate the G36 and Heckler&Koch on suspicion of causing deaths by friendly fire through firing near sideways

@Ruggwain what's that all about?

not heard about it

Basically we equipped our soldiers with the Heckler&Koch G36 for the war in Afghanistan and subsequent years of German troops staying there

and like 3 years ago they figured out that when the weapon heats up

it starts shooting at absolutely ridiculous sideways angles

really

yes

what kind of temperatures/rate of fire are you talking about before this presents itself?

I'm a eurofag I have no idea

I should look it up

seems kinda nuts

I mean that's literally ballistic issues with rounds/rifling of barrels surely?

or barrels warping under extreme heat? I don't fuckin know

aye never heard of that before

lol ironic really because the british army uses HK a lot, and they did fix 99% of the issues with the SA80

idk

@Ruggwain
The g36 will be replaced

So relax

@Fulcrum010 It still went on for more than a decade like that

@Deleted User
Baraban has a point, in the military I GUESS you need 100% confirmation of a threat before you shoot

False

It depends on ROE which is theater and operation dependent

i'm pretty sure ROE needs you to be sure you have a threat before you start shooting at people

So again ROE is not a blanket thing.
