Heckler und Koch G3 |
This rifle starts it's geneology in Stgw.45, designed in Germany at the end of WW2. This design with roller-delayed blowback automatics was further improved in Spain by the CETME company and then became a "visit card" of a combat rifle by H&K for many years. The G3 was adopted in 1957 as a replacement for FN FALs, and served in the Bundeswehr under the designation of G2. It is still in service with many armies, including Germany, Turkey, and other, for a total of more than 20 countries.
