G36 possibly too accurate?

[DeltaFart]

Ok I have no idea about what the deviation thing says for this but I have to say the guy was 50 meters away from me and just sprayed me down in half a second, dude was also side strafing
So im not sure what the heck happened there but I've never been that good with an Tavor or anything thats automatic side strafing and when a guy with an AK has the drop on me
Just a thought I had sorry if the coding says otherwise

[mat552]

In theory, all 5.56 weapons share the same deviation.

The official response will be that your lag and your luck gave out.

[DeltaFart]

I figured that be the response...I never saw something do so well, to be honest I hate insurgency now
I kind of want extraction back too

I have noticed that in bursts the G36 is pretty insane, its probably the most effective weapon ingame bar the G3 IMO.

[karambaitos]

its a crazy gun especially with the reddot its like all the bullets are hitting it the same place

you know the germans make good things

^_^ That

Why? Because "Deviation" Comes from gun sway right? And look at the G36, its a heavy erm....thing..
And typically the heavier something is, the less likely it is to sway. So the deviation? Just fine, Since its representing sway.

[BroCop]

Ummm thats if the weapon is on a very stable platform (emplacement or a wall to lay it on)...the heavier it is, the more there is trouble keeping the weapon still with your arms

[BenHamish]

Yup, herpa derp.

So you were in the KSK? Pics or it didn't happen.

[Mahis]

G36 is just pure awesomeness with aimpoint. Best weapon ingame with G3 and TAR.

[Cheditor]

Spawncaptain you don't just join the KSK do you.

[Jaymz]

And look at the G36, its a heavy erm....thing..

Well, it's big. But I don't know about heavy.

A G36 weighs 3.6kg unloaded, meaning approximately 4.1kg loaded
An M16 weighs 4.0 kg loaded

By the time you've lashed an ACOG on that M16, it would weigh slightly more.

Hahahaha
*SHoots five taliban from a mile away with a G36*
*Sits down puts g366 across his lap*
*Pulls out a camel and hangs it loose from his lips*
*Cups it while he lights it with his Distinquished Marksman zippo*
*pulls the cigarrette out and holds it lightly between his pointer and middle finger, bobbing it up and down with his thumb*
*exhales deeply*
Deal with it


awesome picture, could write a story around that one

[Raufbold]

So you were in the KSK? Pics or it didn't happen.

What makes you think he is KSK? The custom optics?
When i met him, none of us was, at least to my knowledge. Bosco, where is that pic from?

[bosco_]

He's with Para company 313, at least when the pic was taken.

Back to the topic, the G36 is really really accurate on full auto at long range. Its like a SAW or a PKM only with a smaller mag. To see that , fire it all its mag on full auto in game at something that is 200m away from you. You will get a super small hit radius. Crouch for the best results.... Its too much ownage that it's not even fair, unless you use a Lee-Enfield.

The G36 is actually a fairly light weapon in comparison to other similarly sized and caliber battle rifles, and when compared to some it feels almost like a toy.

The recoil management is well designed, and with the rifle using a free-float barrel the accuracy even in automatic fire is great. The fact that it uses the 5.56mm round also helps keep it from climbing much, and even with a full magazine you can really feel the weight difference.


The accuracy in sustained fire with the shorter-length carbine and compact variants is not going to be that good at ranges beyond 200m, but that is expected from any short-barreled weapon. In fact, as much as I love H&K, I felt quite uncomfortable firing the G36C model. Not because of the weapon in itself, but for the same reason I dislike firing the Colt Commando and other 5.56mm weapons with a barrel shorter than 16" or so. Anything with a barrel that short is better off using smaller-caliber rounds to maintain control. And short-barreled weapons are intended for CQB use, where I have found rifle-caliber ammunition to be undesired.


The one thing I did like about the G36 is the rate of fire. It was just enough to keep you from falling on your face when in a front-leaning firing stance, but not so much that the magazine went dry before you could blink. Any average-skilled soldier with a few hours training on the G36 should be more than capable of keeping sustained fire of a full magazine within a silhouette target at 50m.
