Heckler & Koch G36

The Heckler & Koch G36 is a select-fire assault rifle designed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch.

History
It was back in the 1990s when Heckler & Koch were working on the design for the G11, that fired caseless ammunition. This project however had an abrupt end due to budget cuts and the unification of both east and west Germany.

It was then that the country required a rifle chambered in the 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition used by NATO. The rifle Heckler & Koch produced known as the G41 was rejected as well. It was by the near mid-90s when the company created a rifle designated "Project 50" or "HK50" that underwent trials and proved to be superior to their Austrian rival Steyr AUG. By the 1994, the final product of the G36 was created and then started full production by 1995.

Variations
As the years have went by, the Heckler & Koch G36 has undergone a variety of different changes. This includes accessories and variations in general.
