G36

Description:

The G36 is HK's modern assault rifle that has sold with widespread success around the world. It is available in a carbine version that has proven to be a capable close quarter battle weapon.

PRIMAL Assessment:

A quality, reliable weapon. The piston-driven HK action is also the basis for the A2 upgrade of the British L85 and the HK416. Criticisms include bulky magazines and a fiddly cocking handle.
