The Norwegian are having a lot of trouble with their HK416. Their Special Force are sticking with the Canadian made AR15, ie C7.

The G36 use a modified AR-18 action. It's still an AR-18 action. The most accurate auto loading rifle is the AR15 DI.

I don't think I've ever fired a .308 that didn't kick like a mule. Which is why I'm not such a big fan of this caliber in rifles intended for infantry (unlike some old-skoolers in the gun-owning community who argue we should have never ditched the M14 for the M16).

Very nice pics, BTW. The Mark 23 is definitely a huge weapon. I'm not so sure the whole "offensive handgun" concept was really one of the DoD's better ideas.
