| | | The Airsoft g36 | The Heckler and Koch g36 assault rifle was designed in
the 1990s and is the standard rifle of the German
armed forces. It was designed to take the place of the
assault rifle that was in use at the time, which was
designed in the 1950s. It utilizes a NATO 5.56x45mm
round and fires at an astounding 750 rounds a minute.
It has the ability to fire tens of thousands of rounds
without needing to be cleaned. The weapon can be
broken down and cleaned without tools because of a
system of cross pins. In it's full sized form, the
rifle is just under a meter long, however there are
variants in other sizes. The rifle is said to be
versatile and extremely reliable.
Besides the german armed forces, there are several
other forces that use the g36. These include: The
Chilean Army, The Cypriot National Guard, French
Special Forces, The Finnish Border Guard, The Irish
Army Rangers, Malaysian Special Forces, The Norwegian
Navy, The Poland Police Special Forces, The Philippine
Navy, The Portuguese Special Forces, The Thai Navy
Seals, The Spanish Army, The British Army, and The Los
Angeles Police Department to name some.
Since this advanced assault rifle is legally
unobtainable to civilians, it only stands to reason
that the airsoft replica version is popular with gun
collectors and enthusiasts. The airsoft version
features a four hundred seventy round clip, plenty of
ammo for drawn out fire-fights, and is about 720
millimeters long. It weighs a light 2744 grams and has
an astonishing muzzle velocity of 290 to 310 feet per
second. It has a fiberglass body, a folding stock, a
metal flash suppressor, and a metal gearbox. The
airsoft g36 is currently one of the most popular
airsoft assault rifles with milsim airsoft players.
