Well, basically, you have to reach almost all the way over to the end of the barrel to grab the charging handle, and when you cock it, you have to really pump it hard. It's a lot more awkward to use than the charging handle of, say, the FAL (which is conveniently located on the side of the receiver, within easier reaching distance).

I think I've also mentioned before how I hate the "slimline" forearms that most G3s have, though thankfully H&K abandoned that style.
