I would imagine they would keep a few minis for ceremonial duties as the g36 is not a pretty parade rifle. But other than that i'm not sure what the plans are. I can find out easily enough and get back to you on that one. Our uzi's are meeting a cruel demise. Due to the increase in gang violence, and the gangs' round of choice being the 9mm the armourers have been ordered to destroy all uzi's by means of a makita chopsaw and then the remains are thrown overboard. The government does not want any 9mm ammo to get into the wrong hands, so with this knee jerk paranoid decision they have decided to destroy some iconic weapons. I cannot see the rugers meeting this same fate.
