Got to be friends with many of the staff, some of whom shot USPSA with us, and in exchange for helping them come set those range days up, when things were over and the guests had left they let us play with the toys before everything went back into the Pelican cases. Great stuff. During that period of time they were indeed pushing the G36 and especially it seemed to me the G36K at LE as well as the whole family of the UMP's, 9mm, 40, 45 in addition to the current handguns of that period and the LEM trigger system.
Never saw the roller lock systems at those events, almost as if they were forgotten. I did talk them into bringing the Breifcase MP5K with them one day and actually got to try it out.
The G36K was a very controllable gun and easy to shoot well, or so I thought at the time.
