do you not or can you not get a housing and ejector so that the casings are ejected to the left rather than the right. which could be given to left handed people, such as myself i'm sure they're others to be used under such circumstances

Sticking your body around a corner to let off a few shots,whether it be a left or right handed corner,is not very good for ones life expectancy.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

I think the Steyr is fine for now. There are no significant benefits that other weapons have.
I wouldn't go for the G36 range. Experience has shown them to have problems with accuracy in high temperature countries and after firing off 100+ rounds due to the material the barrell is made from. They've changed back to the "old" G3 type barrell in the 416.
HK developed the 416 because SF units were complaining about accuracy and reliability problems with the G36 range in Afghanistan and Iraq, and also that the G36 would not easily adapt to equipment add ons. I wonder will they extend the benefits of the 416 to a new range of rifles as well?
