A few points off doesn't make a huge deal, so the argument that the G36E does more damage is just silly.
Portability and RoF is higher so the XM8 outclasses the G36E. They both tied for recoil, but the XM8 has a more bobbing motion which is easily controlled and the G36E as sway recoil in which the scope goes sharply around. The same deal can be said about accuracy, both guns has the same sniper scope system. Can engage at long range. Even ask a person or two, I can do the same range with the UMP. Maybe a more damage drop off, but they are still the same.
