For years I've heard it's just politics, so someone made shit up.
Besides that the armed forces of my country also use a variant of G36 and no such complaints have been heard.
Shift of point of aim due to sunlight and other weather conditions, like wind or rain cooling one side of a barrel more than the other, s absolutely possible on any weapon, "plastic" or not, that's why tanks have thermal sleeves on their gun barrels.
What has happened to those G36KV3 that our guys have is:
1) they have to rezero them when getting to high ground and mountains of Afghanistan and then when they get back home at sea level:
2) at least once two guys on the home base made an improvised torture test with their service rifles by multiple full auto magdumps (shit like that happens only at home out of boredom, never on missions). Handguards on both rifles got deformed due to heat. Gunsmith then changed burned out barrels, but left plastic parts "as is", to teach them a lesson (I know this from an interview with that gunsmith). No loss of accuracy was reported, although it was obviously lost, as rifling was damaged.
And yes, I guess our armed forces keep on buying new G36s, as since 2014 (well... we are just next to Russia) the size of land forces was slightly increased and now not just Army, but our National Guard too are getting G36 rifles.
