That's what it is. To sum up the whole story:
>Germany: we need a NATO compatible rifle
>HK: sure, give money
<A few moments later
>HK: Here, have the brand new G41 (G3 on 5.56 with STANG and fine tuned for whatever shitty load they were using)
>Germany: Scrap that, we want the most modern rifle for out most modern soldiers, nobody cares about NATO standards anymore, but stick to this shitty 5.56 load
>HK: Sure thing, give moneys
>Germany: And put two sights on it!!
>HK: Ok, more money
>Germany: Sure, sure, whatever
<Some superior Kraut engineering
>HK: (Voilà in German) It has more plastic than Schindler's Tupperware factory, but way less jews worked on it
>HK: Oh, by the way, we kind of wasted 80% of the budget on developing this polymer, everything else is an AR18… the sights are cheap shit we shoved in to stay under the price limit, hope you don't mind
>Germany: Nice, looks futuristic, I don't care about the rest
>Germany's green party: Hold up xer horses! That polymer has more than 80% of dead dinosaurs, our politically correct -social- engineer said it could use recycled ABS from Denmark
>HK: S-sure, I'll change it
<A few rounds down the barrel later
>Germany: HK, what the fuck?! The gun you sold me is melting!
>HK: Recycled polymer doesn't handle heat very well
>Germany's green party: Why there is high temperature in a gun? Global warning? Can we fix it with a wind turbine
>HK: Guns work with explosions, therefore heat
>Germany's green party: Whatever, just fix it, they we wasted a lot of money on a gun that melts!
>HK: Sure, let me just… Oh no! Mein weisswurst! We are almost broke… I guess we will need more money
>Germany: Fine, but that's the last time we save your company
<A few batches of the original polymer later
>HK: Ok, now it retains zero and you don't have to shove your skull into the scope in order to see shit through it. Now pay me more
>Germany: We already paid you lots of euro bucks
>HK: Oh… Right… But I need more money, almost on the red again
>Germany: Ok, ok, let me see what I can do…
<A few political extortions later
>Germany: Ok, we have good boy spain willing to spend 1/8 of what they are wasting on tourism and old buildings in order to get some guns. Latvia is also willing to suck mein koch just to be part of the EU
>HK: Good, good, this should last me another year or two…
>Germany: Wait, what?
>HK: Nothing, nothing
<A few years more of neglecting any potential prívate market
>HK: We kind of need money again… You don't want us firing the only three working Muslims of Germany
>Germany: No! Please no. I'll get you the money right away!!
<A few words with the media later
>Germany: Ok, we told everyone the gun is melting again
>HK: But that's a lie, anyone can check how spaniards are doing with their guns…
>Germany: No one will notice, now shut up and make me a new gun that doesn't melt
>HK: You don't mind If we make another AR18 clone, right?
>Germany: What's an AR18?
>HK: Forget I said anything. I'll give you a brand new gun, don't worry
And that's pretty much it. A bit too long, but you get the idea.
