The G-3 is a nightmare in sandy conditions. I served with a G-3 variant in 2008/09, the Swedish AK4. It is a reliable weapon in almost all other respects, but sand will quickly foul the weapon because it can easily get between the bold and frame via the cocking handle slot cut into the weapon. When that happens you are either going to have a really hard time getting the bold moving again or you are completely **** out of luck, this is a problem that gets eorse the hotter the weapon is and the G-3 does overheat quite fast if you maintain a high rate of fire with single shots.
