Incredibly annoying in one of the Reacher books, they elaborately introduce the G36s in preparation for the final showdown... I don't think a single shot is fired with them. Everything goes sideways and when the action starts, Reacher kills the first bad guy by smashing in his skull with the rifle, breaking its sight in the process, and instantly swaps his rifle for the guys MP5K.
I know why the writer wanted to mess with the readers expectations but it is particularly annoying since the MP5K, while pretty cool is really overused in the series.
In another Book, Reacher also uses the MP5K to clear a house, making sure to count ammunition, when he enters the last room, after killing the last stooge, with prep time mind you, instead of switching to the fully loaded pistol he got from the guy, he continues to use the MP that has only a single shot left, moo confront what he thinks are two opponents. When it turns out there are actually three, he uses the bullet on one of them, revealing to the others that the gun, wich is switched to burst fire, is now empty.
Following this, the two remaining assailants challenge him to a knife fight, wich is when he reveals his secret: he strapped a knife to his back, Die Hard style ...instead of the second fucking gun.
The second one is what the new season on amazon will be based on wich is heavily annoying to me because I did not enjoy the book and its premise with its weird political undertones
I have a strange variation on this:
