Wiki said that 2nd REP is not the part of the Speicial Forces, although they actually works like SP in French Army.
I think French SP is a lot like SPs in the U.S Army. They get to choose their own weapon, stock, and even new types of weapon for whole goddamn unit, which was Mk.16/17 for USSOCOM(although Mk.16 was screwed up). Since G36 is well-proven weapon that doesn' have any major problems in terms of accuracy and reliability, there are no reason why they shouldn't choose one like it.
