I'm still at the start of my career, so I've not been able to meet too many members of foreign military's
Chiefly I was wondering about some of our NATO allies, such as the Bundeswehr and the British Army.
I was wondering what the impression was from each respective countries service rifle compared to the US M16/M4'
I know the SA80 was a right mess when it was first adopted, and that it was in fact H&K that was contracted to help come up with a solution to the problems that plagued the rifle.
The G36 seems to have seen some success, and if I'm not mistaken, H&K took some of their experience with the rifles firing system and applied it to a modified piston driven M4 ala the HK M416.
Please share your experiences if you don't mind, other service members past or present are welcome to share their history if they would like as well
