The HK G41, an attempt by Heckler & Koch to blend their roller-locking system with M16 ergonomics, suffers from significant reliability issues. Despite a smooth shooting experience due to its weight, the G41 experienced multiple malfunctions, including damaged casings from extraction failures. These performance problems likely explain its lack of commercial success compared to other HK platforms.
