No, Mord. The G3 rifle is the ancestor of the G36. :)

Having fired the HK-91, I would agree that the SR-25 > the G3. Not sure about the G36 since not a whole lot of US orgs use it and it is mostly used by German special forces and the like, although I believe I saw US Capitol police armed with them when I took the tour.
Nobody uses bayonets anymore. Wink The whole concept of turning your rifle into a spear for CQB got obsoleted by the sidearm and "utility" knife.
As for the 5.56 vs 7.62 battle, not even gonna touch it. The round doesn't matter for accuracy more than the rifle itself. Folks that complain that the 5.56 doesn't have enough "stopping power" are the same folks whining that every soldier or marine isn't carrying an M2HB for the same "stopping power."

A bayonet is a pretty nice thing. You mock it until you need it. It gives you a great advantage in close combat. It enlarges your arm, so you win a confrontation against a man with a "utility knife" or something like that for shure.
If you use the 5,56 calibre i.e. in woods, you will see, that it will be easily diffracted by even small trees and other plants.
Another thing is, you can not shoot through lightly armored vehicles as well as trees. This is with the 7,62 mm calibre no problem.

Yes i agree with you especially about the caliber
