Setting aside the ammo, how the fuck is its clip loading system not unconventional? How is a complete lack of irons with only a reflex sight not unconventional, particularly for its time? How is the blistering high cyclic rate, again, for an infantry rifle, not really unconventional?

I'm aware of stuff like what the Brits were working on at the time, but aside from being a similarly small caliber (4.7mm), they did not use any oddball projectiles, they only used conventional detachable magazines, and they had irons.

>The 1990 G36 was the most *un*-conventional military rifle yet built after the AUG.
It's a 5.56mm rifle with a rotating bolt and piston, the only remotely unconventional aspect was its plastic body, even the AUG itself had integrated optics before (and sort of the EM2, though it wasn't magnified), and AUG also used a lot of plastic.
I can think of plenty much weirder rifles than the G36, such as the G11 or Steyr ACR, or Korobov's various prototypes.

Finally, fuck you too, I hope your mom falls victim to a Panjeet making an illegal u-turn on the freeway.
