HK in the news recently

Looks like bureaucracy is affecting gun makers even overseas.

There is a hidden agenda somewhere. This is their basis for wanting to remove the G36 from service lol

The G36, Berlin says, does not shoot straight in hot weather or when it heats up through constant firing.

The G36 sucks. No two ways about it. Think first-generation M16 in Vietnam, ALL THE TIME.

When a country or criminal group uses HK firearms to of commit acts of evil, it is not the fault of HK. Evil men will always have tools no matter what. It does not matter where the guns came from. When LE takes down a bad guy the media does not give any credit to the gun company.

Wasn't HK the company that said their firearms were not meant for civilians?

If you want to quote them out of context, then yes!

I'm sure HK isn't weeping too much, the article I read ( can't remember where, HKusa.com?), said the Bundeswehr will transition from the G36 to the HK416. Though all these stories do seem to fit the profile of a calculated smear campaign by the German media.

As far as taking the "moral high ground" goes, I do not possibly see how the German government can do that here. There is a big difference between selling a legal product and taking over Europe.
