Was able to go out and fire a G36 today with some of the Germans.
Overall I liked it. Folding stock is sturdy and a nice feature.
Like the fact that the mags snap together and that they can be seen through.
The red-dot was good but didn't seem to allow me to be as precise as I would like, think this is an issue with most red-dots though.
Recoil in full auto was very controllable, bit better than an M16.
Ambi charging handle was a plus over the G3.
Probably the only thing that I didn't care for was that I had to hold my head a bit higher than normal to use the red-dot, didn't like that. However, with training it wouldn't be an issue.
Recoil was nice and it was good to not get that d*$m "boing" sound in my ear everytime I fired like the 16.
Overall I liked it. Don't think it's the "holy grail" though.
The P8 is pretty much the USP with real cap mags. Again, these are see through which is a good feature if you're using polymer anyway.
They have the controls set for fire/safe, and decock. Carrying locked and cocked is an option for them. Not sure, but I think nite sites are issue for them. Also, has the light rail on all of them.
Was a real treat and a great way to spend the day
