Also known as: G36
The G36 is a 5.56×45mm NATO Assault Rifle, designed in early 1990s and manufactured by Heckler & Koch in Germany. It was intended to supplant the failed G11 project and the G41 which was too heavy. The G36 features a conventional configuration with short-stroke piston operation.
The Weapon is characterized by a large carrying handle with an integrated Optical Sight and skeletonized side-folding stock. It lacks a front sight post as well. The G36 can be fitted with a Bipod or an Underbarrel Grenade Launcher.
Notable variants include the shorter G36K, the shortest G36C, and the MG36 Light Machine Gun.
Examples
- G36 with a standard-issue bayonet.
