Oh, I've heard great stuff about the G36's accuracy and reliability myself. The issue most people have with them is that they tend to overheat in the forearm (HK supposedly corrected this 10 years ago, but the complaints are still heard) and that the stock hinges tend to break. And of course, the melting can happen after very long periods of firing.

The thing is, though, the G36 is accurate because it basically uses the same operating system as the AR-18. There are quite a few guns built around the AR-18 tech that don't tend to overheat or break.
