Weapons manufacturer Heckler & Koch denied on Monday evening that the G36 rifles it supplied to the Bundeswehr (German army) lose their accuracy when they are too hot.

"Unfortunately we first learned of the Bundeswehr's statements about the G36 rifle through press questions," the company said in a statement.
