HK G36 CV Bundeswehr Original Series
The assault rifle was manufactured by the German company Heckler&Koch in the early 1990s. The designers had the task of replacing HK G3, a 7.62 caliber automatic rifle, for army forces. The decision was taken back in 1970. The development of the new rifle was entrusted to the Heckler&Koch company, which designed the HK G11 rifle. However, it was not adopted.
In 1993 the company developed new tactical and technical specifications for its light machine gun and rifle, and instead of financing the development of the rifle, it decided to hold a competitive bidding process for the samples. The HK-G36 rifle and the HK-MG36 light machine gun were chosen during the military trials and comparative tests.
The assault rifle as a whole proved to be a modern weapon, an excellent, reliable, accurate and comfortable solution. In addition to Germany itself, the rifle was adopted as the basic infantry weapon by the armies of Malaysia, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania and Spain.
The G36 rifle and its modifications are in service with police and military units in over 40 countries, including UK, US, Poland, Brazil, Thailand, Norway and Australia.
