The trigger-like cocking handle in the carry handle, like the original AR-10 or FAMAS is a little hard to use with gloves on, or if the gun is really stuck. Even the AR-15's rear-mounted one is not that easy to grab if you really need to yank it.
The G.36 flapper seems like a good middle solution. The FAMAS Low-Profile is going to something similar as well, due to ripping off the carry handle. One improvement though would be letting it stay locked outward upon request. The G3 handle can be left sticking out for a moment, which is needed if you want to barricade cock it. The G.36 one is much harder to use this way.
While we are here, a rant: Who really thinks the AR-15 cocking piece is ambi? Its got this stupid latch on the left side, making it a right hander's gun. Why not just a centered ball detent (like the FAL) or something?
