Back when I was in the military we used the G3. Hated that weapon. But not quite as much as the machine gun MG3. So heavy during marches...

I've shot the PTR 91, which is a semi-auto version. It seemed like a pretty decent weapon, albeit with a heavy trigger.

What did you not like about the G3?

[Klaus]

I hated cleaning it, mostly. Which we did for hours. Our drill sergeants found it particularly funny to pull out a snow-white wipe to demonstrate that some residue could still be found somewhere after n hours of cleaning. The plastic blank cartridges we used were particularly hated for leaving massive amounts of hard-to-clean dirt.

The purpose of the weapons during my time in the military was to be tools of harassment by the sergeants and officers. I could not have cared less whether they were actually good for any defensive purposes.
