The Heckler and Koch G3

The G3 (G3A3) series assault rifle is manufactured by Heckler and Koch. It fires the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO cartridge and uses a standard 20 round magazine.

The G3A3 is known for its high level of accuracy and power, especially since assault rifles are a compromise between the two, sacrificing one for the other.
