American weapons 'onto' list of worst products
There are some weapons in the world that were created for reference purposes only and should not be used, but the United States uses them.
American magazine Business Insider wrote that most people usually know the best tanks and rifles in the US army, as well as in the world.
However, in reality, there are many types of weapons with complex technology, low efficiency and controversy in the world. Therefore, it is not advisable to buy these weapons, they are created simply to help us recognize which type of weapon is appropriate.

| Tracked amphibious vehicle - a defective product of the US military. |
One of the weapons mentioned by this source is the HK G36 rifle designed by Heckler & Koch in Germany using 5.56x45 mm ammunition, they were created to replace the H&K G3.
They call it the “worst product” in the world.
The reason for this name is because they have too many disadvantages and are completely inferior to their competitors.
Some problems such as the gun overheating when firing in burst mode, seriously affecting the gun's accuracy.
According to statistics, when shooting, a gun can heat up to 86 degrees F, causing the accuracy of the gun at a distance of 500 m to be 6 m off.
In addition, this company also continued to create another "disastrous" product called the HK MG5 machine gun.
These guns are used to destroy enemy manpower, firepower and vehicles, and are also used against air targets.
The MG5 began to be equipped with the German armed forces to replace the outdated MG3 machine gun. However, their accuracy was no different from the old version.
Next on the list is the North Korean M-1978 “Koksan” self-propelled gun, a 170 mm self-propelled gun designed and manufactured by North Korea, which first appeared in a parade in 1985.
This type of self-propelled artillery has a maximum range of about 60 km, however, their rate of fire is quite limited, only 1 or 2 shots in a period of 5 minutes. In addition, the mass and size of the combat part are small, so their destructive power is not great.
For the US military, the weapon considered a “failed product” of the US Marine Corps is the Amphinious Assault Vehicle 7 (AAV-7) tracked amphibious vehicle manufactured by FMC Corporation.
They were introduced to the Marine Corps in 1972 to replace the LVTP5.
The first limitation of this product is their inappropriate size. Next is the very weak weapon system, vulnerable protection system, they have a maximum transport capacity of about 21 people.
They have now served for about 45 years and it is time for the US military to find a replacement and allow them to “retire”.
