Shooting the HK G41: Like an HK33 But Worse

We took a look at the history and mechanics of the G41 yesterday; now it's time to actually try it out on the range!
It, ah, did not go so well. But I did get to see a cool new malfunction I had never seen before! In fairness to HK, this was a demo gun that has been used and abused. On the other hand, nothing else form the Grey Room that we shot on this trip had any malfunctions at all. In my opinion, the G41 really is the exception that proves the rule of H&K's overall excellent engineering.
Many thanks to H&K USA for giving me access to the G41 rifles in their Grey Room for this video, and to Trijicon for loaning us use of their Virginia range!
