This question belong in the realm of questions like: Which is better Ford or Chevy?

Yes...& No.

Brain damage from fluoride in tap water ... making you believe you can drink it without questioning........ now that's first world.

But your teeth don't rot. And you can shoot your FN without them falling out!

Patton called the M1 the finest implement of battle because he did not live to see the FAL.

H&K made a 5.56 version of the G3, the HK33. In the 80s, they made a STANAG-compliant version with an M16A1-based forward assist and bolt hold open and an FAL-based carry handle, the G41. I think they should put it into production and the German army should adopt it to replace the G36.

MM23E HK23E. Now we're talking.
Or Stoner 63.
But we're getting away from the 'MBR' the OP was asking about.

There's also the HK53, an HK33 of MP5 proportions.

He should have an AK.

PAUL SOLMAN:

Really?

Some SEALS dislike the SCAR-H, Chris Kyle liked the SCAR and wasn't a fan of the SR25, some SEALS hated the Mk23, others disliked the P226. there's no universal opinion in spec ops.
