    The Kurds are some badass fighters. I'm sure the Turks, Iranians and Russians are not gonna be happy. I saw G3's in the mix along with 8000 boat anchors in form of a G36's.

    Better than nothing, especially in light of some of the mixed quality crap the Kurds are currently working with.

    Given their export laws I'm kinda amazed they are doing this.

    IIRC the Turks are actually ok with the Kurds now since they understand that they are the only ones capable of stomping ass and noT running away.

    How much combat has the G36 seen over the years? Doing some quick google searching last night I couldnt find much at all.

    If not much then maybe this will be a good opportunity to see how the rifle holds up to heavy use.

    Certainly, but there would be a profit motive for Colt to sell brand new M4s and M16s to the public. For the Germans to export arms to the Kurds really does require something equivalent to an act of congress. The arms industry is tied to government in ways most Americans simply can't relate to.

    Great news, but 8,000 pistols? The only thing those would be good for would be to off yourself before being captured by ISIS and being executed on camera.
