Bundeswehr treats itself to HK417

Because the G36 - according to the Bundeswehr - is not that great, the Bundeswehr has now decided on an ad hoc procurement for a weapon that hits well for troop deployments abroad. The choice has fallen on the G27P - Bundeswehr designation for the HK417, which is the AR system from Heckler & Koch in the large caliber 7.62. 600 pieces is not a revolution, but an adjustment for penetrating power and precision, which is complemented by the procurement of 600 MG4 for firepower in overseas deployments. It gets hot when it shoots fast, and it hits.
