A news item which I thought might interest some folks here:
After several years of controversy over supposed weaknesses of the current HK G-36 standard rifle, the German Defense Ministry today (yesterday) announced the winner of the new contract:
C.G. Haenel of Suhl with their MK552. The semi-auto version CR223 is already in service with some German police units.
HK competed with their HK 416. Of course they've already announced they'll go to court over supposed issues with the selection.
