    From contact on the 'ground', a small batch of pins were incorrectly heat treated, so instead of suck it and see the whole lot are being replaced gratis. Those bigger companies still make the same sort of mistakes but will just say 'so what?' On the world stage NZ's requirements are less then some private security companies.
    Oh and the reason for the 1:7 twist is for the 223 tracer round.

    By comparison with the British L85 or the Indian INSAS, the problems outlined so far are small. Even the G36 has it's issues when hot.

    Didn't the G36 get canned by the German military last year?

    Dam that's right 1:7 twist is for tracer. Twist is about the length of the bullet.
