Must have been fun. I've only fired .50 calibres off of the back of a Canadian ship and a FN Minimi.

Spanish Ejercito (Army) uses G36 too, but it's a GERMAN gun.

Yep. I worked with the Spanish and German armies. Both very professional folks.

Nice!!!

French army depends to much on my ethny and equipment is archaic.

I don't think that Correia gut faxes strait. Germany used the FAL before HK started to distribute the G3. The G3 was fielded in to the military in the early 1960's.

It's possible, re when various countries used various weapons. But I'd give Correia the benefit of a doubt. But, moreso his rant was about the attitudes of H&K and their fanboys. In that regard, he was spot on.
I liked using some H&K products, including the G36 which Mr. Correia was less than thrilled, but I can't stand the company.

Yeah, I know. HK seems to be allergic to civilian shooters. LoL. It don't know why they just sell a semi auto version of there 416/417 and the g36 ( no not the SL8 ). The AWB/94 law is long gong, HK! PS In NY I mite be allowed to get a 416 upper for fix stock AR 15 lower but a folding stock G36 is out of the question.

416 uppers, if you can find them, are kinda expensive. Plenty of other piston uppers are around. A lot of the non-HK piston or op rod uppers have significantly longer usage warranties, at usually a fraction of the price. 416's are only expected for 4-6k rounds.

I agree. The LWRCs and POFs uppers are better bet for me, if I had the money.

May I ask another question since you've had the opportunity to use it?
Is it true that the optic integrated in the handle has poor visibility (very dark I've been told)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that I noticed. But I haven't tried to use them with NVG's or what not.

Yay! Americans with G36's! I heard the the spanish version is called a G-36e.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
There are 3 versions of the G36: C (compact), K (mid-size) and E (full-size)
Models are the same for every country, so G36E doesn't mean Spanish version
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm probably mistaken, but I believe the E (now V) model is the export model.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're right, Europeans call it G36E

Bah, Germans are nearly as bad as Americans when it comes to acryonyms for everything under the sun

It's a good rifle. Very accurate, pretty reliable. Not a fan of the civvie version, the SL8
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unfortunately for me (I live in Italy) I can only buy the SL8 because military versions are restricted
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here in the US, you can only buy the SL8 unless you're military or government. HK doesn't like civilians much to begin with. A guy I know, Correia, wrote a rather accurate rant about HK: [link]

Wow, I've just read that article....what can I say, I'm speechless o_O

Larry does know his stuff. I recommend his book too.

I'd been told that, with a class 3 federal license, you could buy any automatica weapon in the US, maybe they were wrong...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes and no. With a Special Occupation Tax, you can legally process any automatic weapons. For specific purposes. You cannot hold a SOT expressly for the purpose of collecting. You can possess them as inventory for selling to authorized parties. You can possess "dealer samples" for the purpose of demonstrating a weapon to police/military customers. Pre-86 transferables anyone can possess, subject to BATFE regulations.
It's a very very complicated business that is very expensive, with very very thin margins of error legally allowed.

Thank you. A beautiful weapon, but the photo itself is so so.

Sorry but why do you write "Spanish Army G36" i mean its a german rifle... are there different versions for different countrys?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the G36 is made in Germany. However, the Spanish Army happened to own said rifles, so I called them "Spanish Army G36's".
And yes, there are different versions for different countries. The Spanish version lacks the red dot sight found on the German version. Something about the export of tritium being restricted. Tritium is also used in nuclear weapons, hence it's restrictions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The reflex sight on the G36 uses ambient/battery light, not tritium, since they can't use tritium in Germany.

Awesome!
I'm glad someone else likes the G36 better than that drappy m16, you guys get to have all the fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
G36 does have some points I don't like. But I do believe it's a superior weapon. A varient of the G36 was in competition to replace the M16. Unfortunately it was not funded.

Yeah, no gun is perfect, but the G36 is indeed a better weapon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. My biggest gripe is the caliber
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ah ... g36 where did i heard that before? Hmmm dunno cant remember
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a rather nice weapon, considering it's only 5.56mm NATO.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Just curious... Maybe I'm confused by the way you said it.. if you're Spanish Army, why are you wearing U.S. flags and U.S. Army namestrips?
If I was confused, and you're actually U.S. Army, why are you messing with a G36?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Spanish owned the G36's. I was just shooting it. Why was I shooting a G36? I happen to like them very much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Is it true that design G36 is mainly made of composite materials ? Nice pic thouhgh
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A large percentage of the weapon is polymer. Lighter and stronger than steel.

Urr. Right. Fiddling around without having the safety on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We were going from semiautomatic to automatic, I believe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We were in the middle of shooting when the photo was taken.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I was a bit irritated by the guns being lowered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uhm... It's better to lower them than raise them. If you fire into the dirt, no one is hurt. If you fire up into the air, no one knows where it will land.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know that. But we were taught that we've only to remove safety when about to shoot, and immediately go safe again after finishing firing. And, of course, having the sights up and aligned is an important part of the whole shooting progress, thus there should be no gun pointed low without safety (except for the case of a security check).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Correct. We were in the process of shooting. We had not finished shooting. We were in the process of changing the selector switch in the middle of shooting. The weapons were pointed in a safe direction, at a safe elevation.
I'm not getting what the safety violation was.
