These days they have to investigate the G36 and Heckler&Koch on suspicion of causing deaths by friendly fire through firing near sideways
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
hmm
seems as if a lot of the german army stock hasn't rotated into refits/upgrades in a while
idk
@Ruggwain
The g36 will be replaced
So relax
@Fulcrum010 It still went on for more than a decade like that
Well yeah but you still don't shoot them
nah, you just get shot instead

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.
It is specified by which operation
it is up to whoever the authority is delegated to
