Yeah, and from your article also:

The MG36 was a variant produced in small numbers for trials with the Bundeswehr, fitted with a bipod handguard, 100-round C-Mag double-drum, and a heavyweight barrel for sustained fire. The trials led the Bundeswehr to conclude that the heavy barrel did not offer a substantial enough increase in performance to justify adoption and in 1995 rejected the MG36 in favour of using a regular G36 with bipod handguard and C-Mag as a squad-level support weapon. Only a few hundred MG36s were ever made.

So to stay true to real weapon usage, a G36 with bipod and drum IS a support weapon.
So why argue, since anyway no airsofter will make a special thicker barrel.
