Performance vs cost. The US made a lot of M2 Browning machine guns. They work pretty well. You can make a better 50cal machine gun. But does the price justify the performance increase. In the US military case. It hasn’t.

The G3 has the same concept. It’s a outdated rifle. But the majority of people who carry one don’t need a better rifle.
