Gun Pundit has some good shots of the German Bundeswehr troops in Afghanistan sporting the G36 rifle.
Lots of photos here.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

the german army weapon g 36 is great. The army from germany is very modern. and got the best armored vehicles and weapons. like the leopard 2a6m.
G36 is a good rifle. Many people believe that the G36 short stroke gas piston is the best piston system on the market. G36 also has a magazine that is superior to high reliability STANAG mags. The only major complaint I heard about the G36 is that the handguards become too hot to grasp on rapid fire but I heard that HK solved this problem by designing a handguard with an aluminum heat shield.
