unimatrix001 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 If you read recent studies about modern combat environment and engagement conditions you have to realize that a bayonet is a relict of the past. In a modern conflict a bayonet is really useless, a fullautomatic Secondary/Personal Defense Weapon is the ticket for the future. Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I took the bayonet lug off, with the G&P forearm on it was halfway down the barrel and sat just a little in front of the forarm - but the AG36 is slightly longer and it got lost inside. Plus it made it very awkward to change batteries. Besides, why do I need a bayonet lug? I don't have a bayonet Link to post Share on other sites
RobbyC Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 the bayonet may be useless these days but knives aren't, i still think that knives like Fairbairn and Sykes commando knife (arguably the best knife ever designed) have a use over such things as a silenced, low-calibre pistol.  it is the only way too ensure complete and utter silence if you know what you're doing, it can also be thrown because of the way it was designed the weight is pretty much perfect and you won't run out of mags   no i totally agree, bayonets are for show these days, and in ways they should still be around because in such establishments as the British army they have a very large and important history - it's a tradition just as dress uniform, drills, bearskin hats, etc. are all traditions  anyway i'm going to stop going on about inconsequential cr*p  nice AG36 btw - damn i love those things - shame about the price...

Possum Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I would rarther have a SA80 and a challanger 2, but what ever tickles your pickle. Â Have CA or TM said there going to make a G36-as in the full sized one, i know their making the K. Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 CA are making a G36 (the fullsize Bundeswehr one) which I thought was a K until corrected. I'm a bit disappointed as I actually prefer the K Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Currently the Bundeswehr doesn't use bayonets, there's also no bayonet drill in the basic training anymore. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â unimatrix; I assume you've heard of Chris Ryan? ex-SAS etc. I read in a mag his opinion of the KSK, and he said that WW2 had affected the Germans profoundly, and that whilst proficient, the KSK were "too lovey dovey and not into fighting". Does this explain the lack of bayonets? Â (This is true btw, it was in 'Nuts') Link to post Share on other sites

Does this explain the lack of bayonets? Â (This is true btw, it was in 'Nuts') <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Â Hmmm I think the problem is that the Germans are still collectively adjudged for the crimes of WW2, even though the most haven't been born at this time. Everybody insinuate us to be "evil and guilty", so it's hard to have a tough military. Â Nevertheless, we have bayonets, but they're not used anymore. Our military brains think they aren't neccessary today, and I agree with them. BTW: In the cold war era there was an bayonet drill in the Bundeswehr basic training, so it has nothing to do with WW2, it's simply caused by a changing combat environment.

doc_newstead Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I didn't doubt it for a second  Anyways, by way of both getting back on topic and defending the reputation of the KSK, here's one of their number in training  Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 So, can someone post pictures of the G36 family together? (G36, G36k, G36e, G36c, etc) Â I really want to see the difference in all of them before I do a conversion on my G36. Â ~P (BTW: I took my stock off of my G36c and I am NOT going to get a verticle grip at all!!! The gun is fine as is) Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 THis link has pictures of all there. They are basicly just a litle shorter unless you pay for the rail scope. Â http://world.guns.ru/assault/as14-e.htm Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Who was it said this before? Apologies for not remembering. Â Look at the air vents in the handguard. 2 vents, G36C, 4 vents, G36K, 6 vents G36. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) I still think that the G36 and the G36k look too tall and too empty in the carry handle region. I like Staic's G36 that is the G36(k?) with the G36c rail on it which really brings it down to a doable size.  ~Prometheus   EDIT:  oh yeah....I can't seem to find the G36c endcap thing that goes on the back of the gun when you take the stock off...? I saw something posted about that eariler today but I can't seem to find that post or anything that resembles what I read about on Redwolf....Anyone have alink? I might consider getting one for mine....thanks Edited June 5, 2005 by Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites

Architect Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) I just sold my endcap.... why you may ask? Because they are completely useless. $43 for a piece of plastic. If you take off the stock and don't put an endcap on it still wouldnt look too bad. Edited June 5, 2005 by Architect Link to post Share on other sites
r1ckchard Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I've got a King Arms Aimpoint Replica on mine with a Star 22T x 30 Ring Mount. Got it from WGC. Cost me around $110 including shipping since I ordered a bunch of other stuff and I ordered with a friend, so we split the shipping cost. Link to post Share on other sites
