Diskusjonene rundt hvilke våpen Forsvaret skulle anskaffe har vært ganske intense til tider.
Heldigvis så ser det ut som at Forsvaret ikke har valgt "feil" våpen.
First there were problems with the German military's standard infantry weapon, the HK G36. Now the same is apparently so for what's set to be the Bundeswehr's new standard-issue machine gun, the HK MG5.
It remains to be seen whether the 170,000 units currently outfitting the Bundeswehr will be remodeled, or whether they will be replaced. Heinz Schulte, a German defense expert, told DW in April that if the Bundeswehr were to replace the G36, it would be with the G416 or G417, both made by HK.
Meanwhile, Heckler & Koch and the Bundeswehr are still fighting in court over whether the G36 is indeed a faulty assault rifle. Apart from that, three Defense Ministry commissions are looking into whether soldiers were put in danger by the rifle, and whether corruption was in play. The results of those investigations are expected in October.
Den passer blant annet ikke helt på coaxen til Leo2 heller. Det vil si, den kan monteres, men den kan ikke brukes fordi pipen ikke liner opp med skyteporten på skjoldet.
Bortsett fra det, så var det visstnok litt rustproblemer, problemer med presisjon etter pipeskift, sprekkdannelser, og noen endringer på skulderstøtten. (disse har visstnok blitt rettet)
HK i trøbbel igjen (MG5)
