According to H&K, they stress tested a G36 after putting it in mud and it was able to fire circa 10,000 rounds before jamming.
Very cool video.

This could explain why many major security forces in the world seem to prefer buying German.

While this soundsa pretty impressive at first, it is an absolutely stupid thing to do.
This is not because I do not trust the weapon to be still operable (which could very well not be the case, though) but because of enemy IEDs.
Wheneveryou see something strange and unnatural, remind yourself: "It's a trap!".
As a soldier, unless you're really desperate, you would never use enemy equipment left on the battlefield (it's different if you capture their depot, of course) without proper inspection.
A rifle could very well be linked to a mine via tripwire or even be manipulated so it blows up in your face when you shoot it.
And we all know the VC's methods of improvising...
This guy has been very lucky, yet stupid

What a great movie. The AN94's sliding barrel sure looks like something that could be used in future weapons.

HS!!
That mud test really impressed me by just firing, but I had no idea that it could go for 10000 rounds after that. Very cool indeed.

I was most impressed by the ice test. But prolonged temperatures or mud could show different results.

At the end?
Was well in the middle for me, but whatever
That's the G36, Germany's current standard army assault rifle with the AG36 grenade launcher attached.
Pretty neat rifle, I can assure you that

Well, it was 48 hours in that freezer, IDK what a more prolonged period would change.
Now, if there was temperature variation (hot - cold -hot - cold), then this would be different.
The video quality wasn't as great to allow closer inspection for me
I know the K variant (kurz=short) (not to be confused with C=compact, which is even shorter), but what does the E stand for?

See I had no idea it was in there for two days...i don't sprechen sie deutch. I just figured they did something to similar to what they did with the g36e5iljal23 and just blasted it with ice.

I thought C meant commando :/

Alright, then I remembered it wrong, I didn't rewatch it simply for that
In any case, it shouldn't make a difference - 24 hours is more than long enough to ensure every component of the weapon is cooled down to those -20

Not that I know, but it's probabaly mostly used by commando units anyway.
Even in the army, we never use the K variant. It's not that long a weapon anyway (heh, compared to the G98 at least
The C in G36C stands for Compact.

The AN-94 is supposedly the most advanced assault rifle in the world. It’s similar in operation to the H&K G11. It fires the first two rounds at 1800 rpm, the barrel and internal assembly reciprocates, and the shooter only feels the recoil impulse of one shot. This allows both bullets to impact the target simultaneously, at the same point, apparently making it capable of defeating body armor.
A few years ago it was in the news, when the IRA got their hands on some of the state-of-the-art rifles:
