Aside from the flash hider, long narrow forearm and shape of the lower reciever, you mean. As I pointed out, you have to look at how badly the Goldeneye weapons were mangled by Rare as a point of reference for how badly they're going to mangle any other weapon.

flash hider? long narrow forearm? Those features could be associated with a very large number of rifles.
And the receiver looks nothing like the G36's.
What you are doing is called matrixing, kind of like when you look in the clouds and you associate it with an object you know of like a dog even though it's just a cloud.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the developers at rare just made that weapon without any real reference?

No, because that doesn't happen; everything is based on something, it's how the human brain works. And why would it have an M16 ejection port if it was made without any real references?

I think it's more the case that you're trying not to see the similarities and focusing on the differences, of which there are no shortage. Rare definately just glance at their reference and replicate it very poorly with little idea of why it looks that way. However, I would point out that when I added that you had already removed it from the article once; in other words, at least two seperate users saw it was similar to the G36. In addition, there's the more obvious fact that when it came time to make Perfect Dark Zero, Rare chose to make the Dragon...A G36. I'd take that as a hint as to the origin of the original.
