THE G36 RIFLE

A relatively new development for HK, the G36 is a true modular weapon system in caliber 5.56mm x 45 NATO (.223 Remington). Constructed almost entirely of a tough, carbon fiber reinforced polymer material and using a simple, clean shooting self-regulating gas system, the G36 provides the user with a lightweight weapon that delivers high performance with extremely low maintenance. The barrel of the G36 can be exchanged by unit armorers to create a rifle, a short carbine, carbine, or light support variant using the same common receiver. Exhaustively tested and currently fielded by the German and Spanish Armed Forces (including the new NATO Rapid Reaction Force), the G36 is now available to U.S. law enforcement and military customers.
